Not all truths need sharp edges – some shimmer best in the blur.

In a time that seems to be becoming increasingly polarized, in which one is expected to decide within seconds whether to say yes or no, black or white, 1 or 0, in a social climate in which one is given little time and space to grasp something in all its complexity, in which one is expected to define oneself and everything immediately, this exhibition presents artistic works that deal with ambiguities. Works that address the inbetween, that which cannot or need not be immediately defined precisely – that which can simultaneously signify a multiplicity.

A quiet elegance resides in that which cannot be precisely stated – a gentle space where things remain ambiguous, unspoken, yet profoundly felt – undefined but deeply meaningful. The world is not just black or white – there are many dazzling nuances in between.

The exhibition, based on an open call, thus aims to remind us of the beauty of the subtle and the unclear, of a tolerance for ambiguity and the complexity of things.
