In the selection of works of historic significance in the evolution of these artist’s practices, drawn from the last two decades, this exhibition is conceived to mediate on the meaning of intuition and hindsight. In taking a historical approach to these contemporary artists’ work, the transience of the present moment and the semiological implications of returning and revisiting the past are revealed. The exercise of ‘starting over’ is expressed in works which in turn, remake, erase and reverse performative graphological gestures.
