Working across multiple mediums, these artists present the viewer with a variety of work that visualizes the complex and ever intertwined relationship between collapse and resilience. In their 2023 exhibition Breakdown Buildup, they continue to explore these themes, reorganizing and constructing new worlds. Mashig, Velkova and Frère's work asks what strategies can we adopt to create change within ourselves, and within the world? How can we adapt to life within this new era of unpredictability?
Featuring utopian visions, surreal dreamscapes, and abstracted landscapes, Breakdown Buildup invites visitors to explore the notion that finality does not exist, there is only change.
