Jason Dodge with Yvo Cho, Keta Gavasheli, Megan Plunkett, Merry Alpern, Felice Tosalli

The exhibition unfolds like an arrangement of things and thoughts, with Jason Dodge at its centre—not as a singular authorial voice, but as a presence that enables other practices to appear (Merry Alpern, Yvo Cho, Keta Gavvasheli, Megan Plunkett, Felice Tosalli). The works occupy the gallery space according to different temporalities: at times in isolation, at times in relation, appearing briefly or lingering long enough to recalibrate the rhythm of the space. The show is not conceived as a conceptual proposition or a thesis to be demonstrated. Instead, it develops from shared affinities, parallel intuitions and a sensitivity that moves across distinct practices. The works engage one another without explanation, forming a conversation made of gestures, materials and decisions rather than words. Meaning arises through proximity rather than prescription. Attention is favoured over interpretation, presence over statement. Viewers are invited to stay with what unfolds when works come into contact—when they align, pause, or quietly diverge.

At the centre of this constellation, Jason Dodge’s practice establishes the conditions for such encounters. Through subtle gestures, restraint and an avoidance of fixed subjects, his work—often composed of traces and objects drawn from everyday life—foregrounds the viewer’s agency in the production of meaning. The traces and objects drawn from everyday life he gathers resist narrative closure, instead proposing perception itself as an active and generative force. Around this sensibility, other practices find both tension and resonance.

Placed after the exhibition’s initial proposition, the practices of Merry Alpern, Yvo Cho, Keta Gavvasheli, Megan Plunkett and Felice Tosalli do not illustrate or confirm its premises; rather, they unfold as parallel articulations of a shared attentiveness. Together, they shape a space in which meaning emerges slowly—through adjacency, contrast and the quiet persistence of things.
