Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS/SITE Archives:

 Here, there and everywhere: truth and liveness is a meeting place; between here and there, between a truth and a lie, between the live and the absent. Angharad Davies (MFA 2014) and Stephen Kwok (MFA 2014) co-opt the everyday desire to leave, the failure to escape, and the subsequent coming to terms with the situation at hand. The artists consider the banal structures of conference calls, rehearsals, advertisements, and film trailers in order to imagine a collective daydream whose realization is still pending. Documents become artifact, props become sculptures, stages for performances become sets for videos, and writing is script, score, and epilogue. This exhibition brings together objects, videos, performance, and image. Here, at this site of comparison and examination, Davies and Kwok collaborate in drafting a new proposal for encountering the everyday.
