Between Material and Being: What Persists, What Emerges is curated by Atif F. Sheikh and the team at Twelve Gates Arts in Philadelphia.
Drawing from Julietta Singh's concept of "unthinking mastery," this exhibition explores how eight artists challenge traditional hierarchies through queer desire, materiality, and pattern. The works embrace "vital ambivalence"—contradiction without resolution—investigating how desire manifests through textiles, paint, embroidery, and installation.
