The idea of distortion represents a radical shift in aesthetic treatment and conceptual methodology which picks apart established rules which serve to dictate the status quo. For centuries, artists have twisted and transgressed formal boundaries to enact and depict cultural shifts.

A Tear in the Fabric presents new and existing works from nine Asian and Asian Australian artists who embrace distortion as a mode of disruption. It revolves around notions of aesthetic, material and conceptual interventions integrated into established forms of creative practice. Picking at the seams to make space for new narratives and artistic approaches, we see exploratory excursions into concepts of place, materiality, memory, identity and perception, manifesting in a diverse range of mediums.
