Where does the threshold between absence and presence lie in the conception of a project? How much can be revealed before the magic disappears, and how can the mix of fiction and reality retain enough mystery to feel alive? For NOCA Seeing Future #1, we are delighted to present the works of eleven emerging artists whose practices explore memory, apparition and attention, reality and fiction, affect, eeriness, and resilient materialities. Working across painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, sound and video, the presented works take on new life through their coexistence while preserving the autonomy of individual practices.
