Scope: Tools for Seeing
Curated by Anna Van Stralen
Scope is both a noun and a verb, as a painting, and as a concept, it ranges from describing the possibilities which expand from the genesis of pigment on ground, to the enquiring process of an individual translating thoughts into visual character. Scope expresses all of the flexible possibilities of a medium which has descended into various challenges and emerged, as a continued and rich source of formal and conceptual negotiation. Beyond that, scope the suffix refers to an instrument which makes visible the intangible, turning subjectivity into systems.
Scope in this instance refers to a body of painted works from arts practitioners of painting through lived and imagined world of potential.
