What is ‘reality’ today? What does it mean to be ‘real’? Is there even such a thing?In an age of reality shows, fake news, and weakened social and political structures, our sense of reality is quickly shifting. Neither fixed nor factual, our individual realities can exist alongside one another’s and never meet.

This moment in time led to the idea of creating an exhibition around the idea of reality and sur-reality, or in art terms: Realism, Surrealism and the Fantastic.  This exhibition explores the relationship between a logical view of life and the unconscious mind, fantasies, and the dream world.

The artists in this show find magic in the unexpected and the unnatural, the overlooked and the odd.  Their work challenges values and norms in search of new realities and freedom. Here, imagination is front and centre and driven by the psychological rather than the logical.

Organized by theme, the exhibition brings together works by historical and contemporary artists who reflect and reimagine the body and the everyday in staging new and provocative worlds.

The work of Chun Hua Catherine Dong blurs the boundaries of here and there, the actual and the virtual, as she considers how ideas of home and self are changing with the rise of digitalization and globalization. Working in 3D printing, augmented reality, performance art, photography, video, and virtual reality, Dong explores the body—often her own body—to activate social commentary on gender, cultural identity, migration and digital diaspora. Throughout, envisioned futures dissolve binaries and borders as identity is lost, created and re-created.
