Gallery SP presents a group exhibition 《The Strange Things》 on view through July 26. This exhibition begins by re-examining objects that are so familiar they no longer seem to require explanation.

《The Strange Things》 focuses on attentively observing such existences and highlights the sculptural explorations of six artists who transform these through the materiality of clay into uncanny things.

The presences in this exhibition refuse to remain mere serene mediators of the world. They depart from established orders and persist as matter itself, functioning beyond the bounds of logic. Though clearly shaped by certain hands, they transcend the trace of their makers to dynamically resonate and interact with humans within the world.

This exhibition explores modes of existence for objects that surpass fixed meanings or functions. Thus, the exhibited works are not mere formal outcomes but traces and processes created through the entanglement of bodily marks and materiality.

No longer subordinated to human intention, these objects connect to their surroundings through their own rhythms and sensations, sometimes guiding human movement or altering flows as autonomous agents. This autonomous vitality disrupts the long-standing anthropocentric worldview.

The exhibition embraces this dissonance as a sensory world. That sensation flows along the surface of the object, reaching the skin of the human body, blurring the boundary between the two. The objects made of flesh and earth now form a material and sensory solidarity with humans. This solidarity is a relational formation without a center, a contact zone where every entity crosses others in its unique way.

《The Strange Things》 imagines a sensory experience of an ontologically flat world within the loose and heterogeneous connections between sensation and matter, human and nonhuman. It embraces openness, not imperfection; possibility, not absence.
