Here, process is not merely a means to an end but a practice in itself—a critical tool for questioning, documenting, and reinterpreting the structures that shape our understanding of art and the world around us. Some artists dismantle traditional hierarchies of form and composition, exposing their inner workings; others disrupt conventional narratives by layering, fragmenting, or erasing. Each artist navigates the tension between presence and absence, structure and instability, control and chance—ultimately revealing the unseen forces at play in both making and meaning. In Inside/Out, the works emerge as an active force of critique—reshaping, resisting, and reimagining the systems that they exist in. Through process-driven experimentation, the artists in this exhibition use abstraction as a means of inquiry, turning their practices inside out to expose, disrupt, and challenge existing frameworks.--Dejá Belardo More Info below.
