Among Other Things brought together objects, video, sound and installation by four contemporary, international artists who question what it means to produce work through encounters with and between people. At a time when the role, effect and stories of objects are undergoing renewed scrutiny and interest the exhibition asked what differences, if any, might be evident between encounters with 'objects' formed through relational practices, and those produced from the traditional artistic disciplines.
The artworks in the exhibition reflected a multiplicity of ideas and approaches towards the process of artistic production including explorations of chance, dialogue, distribution and evolving strategies of engagement. Crucially, the artists in the exhibition engaged with material outcomes to address social and political notions of agency, (re-)assembly and futurity. Here, beyond props to past events, and in a critical spirit of collectivity, the artists hinted at potential events to come or yet to be imagined.
