Transforming Space

About the Exhibition

Transforming Space features NIAD artists’ explorations of exterior spaces. This exhibition showcases the artists using various media, including mixed media, painting, drawing, digital art, and sculpture. Transforming Space tells the story of artists challenging representations of place—maps turn into emotional landscapes, familiar spaces become dreamlike scenes filled with color, landscapes evolve into a collection of thoughts, and the laws of gravity are defied as heavy objects are effortlessly lifted into the air. 

Each artist, with a unique visual language, contributes to this exhibition with a critical perspective of shared spaces and offers a creative reimagining of the outdoors. Through their creativity, spontaneity, and freedom, they help us think differently about the spaces we live in and enter into a world of their own making.
