Greg Streak, Ricky Burnett, Trasi Henen, Bronwyn Lace and Righard Kapp at UCA Gallery

Linking together a group of artists, this exhibition explores notions of emptiness within emotional, psychological and physical spaces. The work on show is definitively minimalist in character, and is positioned as a reaction to the production of artwork with superfluous and often meaningless content. It includes installation, wall pieces and a once-off sound-art performance by Righard Kapp starting at 7pm on the opening night.

'Never Falling Together'

Trasi Henen at blank projects

'In analytic geometry, an asymptote* of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as they tend to infinity. There is a tragedy in this, that although traveling parallel to one another, the lines never meet'.

In Trasi Henan's third solo exhibition, abstraction and representation collide in a series of paintings composed of multiple views, weaving together fragments of quotidian imagery and objects, both real and imaginary. Architecture, an invocation of modernism's aspirational misfortunes appears as a structuring feature in these works which seek to explore liminality, landscape and desire.

* The word asymptote is derived from the Greek asymptotos which means 'not falling together'.
