In June 2021, the exhibition Interior Infinite, curated by Elliott Ramsey, brought together seventeen international artists whose works engaged masking, costume, and make-up, presenting these implements of disguise not as ways to conceal their subjects, to reveal them more fully. In their work, adornment and decoration are neither frivolous nor deceptive. Rather, they are key to visualising memory, embodied history, lived experience, and inner selves.
Interior Infinite emerged as society strove to “get back to normal” after the 2020 global pandemic. But what does “normal” mean, and who does it exclude? Rather than going back to “normal", Interior Infinite imagined moving forward to new possibility. Five years on, revisiting this exhibition offers a small chance to reflect on where we’ve come, and where we’re headed.
Participating artists in Interior Infinite Revisited include Martine Gutierrez, House of Rice, and Skeena Reece.
