Kulega to Kuleega: an exhibition held in two verbs

A title that changes meaning on the length of one vowel is a difficult thing to translate, and an easy thing to walk past. Kulega to Kuleega asks you to slow down at the door.

The exhibition gathers work that sits between two gestures: setting something in place, and drawing something out. Neither is a finished action. Both describe a way of working rather than a result — which is why the show resists being hung as a sequence of conclusions.

Reading the rooms

The hang moves from the smallest, most private objects toward the largest and most public. This is not chronological and it is not a hierarchy. It follows the way a maker’s attention travels: from the hand, to the room, to the street outside.

Visitors often ask which room to begin in. There is no correct answer, though beginning at the far end and walking back tends to make the scale shift more legible.

Why it stays open this long

Exhibitions here run longer than is fashionable. Work of this kind rewards a second visit more than a thorough first one, and a long run means people can come back when the light has changed.
