Echoes and Edges

Echoes and Edges 

16 January -22 February

Montague Contemporary

In the moments between the familiar and the unknown lies the potential for transformation. This space of transition, memory, and renewal is at the heart of Echoes and Edges, an exhibition that isInspired by Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time (1962) and Okwui Enwezor’s analyses of temporality and rupture, the show invites audiences to consider the fragile yet potent boundaries of being. As Heidegger writes, “Temporality makes up the primordial meaning of Dasein’s Being” (Heidegger, 1962, p. 41) - a reflection on the fluid and interconnected dimensions of past, present, and future that shape our existence.

Heidegger’s exploration of the concept "Dasein" (Being-there) is a meditation on existence as a state of constant becoming.

This interplay creates a dynamic process of self-definition, a navigation of edges where past and future collide.
