Layers unraveling is the 9th edition of the Spark Plugs exhibition series; presented annually at the end of the 1st semester of the MA in Fine Art; curated for the first time by students of the MA Curatorial Practice launched by the IUA’s Department of Fine Art in 2021.
Over the course of this semester, the students have unraveled and deconstructed their artistic practices, layer by layer elaborating new understanding of their work.
The exhibition Layers unraveling showcases these ideas and processes to date – a kind of spark plugs, ready to ignite something new.
Layers of textiles, paint, sounds, and forms are being untangled, as well as the connections between body and space, our relationship to our surroundings.
Materials unfold, threads unwind. Hidden histories and constructed narratives are discovered and uncovered.
