Gajah Gallery Manila's 'Holding Structures, Soft Bodies' Examines Architecture, Tech, and Culture

At Gajah Gallery Manila, the exhibition titled 'Holding Structures, Soft Bodies' showcases the work of emerging artists Jemana Murti, Kayleigh Goh, and Sarah Choo Jing. This collective display investigates how human experiences, historical contexts, and technological advancements influence the frameworks that shape daily existence. Featuring a diverse array of sculpture, painting, photography, and video art, the exhibition delves into the negotiation and transformation of architectural, cultural, technological, and social constructs. Jemana Murti utilizes Balinese iconography, incorporating AI, 3D modeling, and digital fabrication to reinterpret traditional motifs, creating blurred, pixelated representations reminiscent of Balinese wood carvings. The exhibition emphasizes the contrast between rigid structures and the adaptable bodies that exist within them.
