TOPOLOGY marks the third exhibition by _threadsafe, exploring form and structure as its site of study through sculptures, mixed media installations, lectures, and workshops. TOPOLOGY refers to the placement of a digital vertex, to the minimal surface of stretched silicone, to the resonant ontologies of sound, to the geodesic of a black hole, to reflections within a bounded area. Through these varied representations, topology becomes an evolving language, mapping the connections between seemingly disparate realms—politics, identity, environment, and space.
A topology studies properties of space that are invariant under any continuous deformation, _threadsafe exposes our parallel experiences, identities, and locations as such deformations which when investigated through artworks allow commonalities to emerge.
_threadsafe will investigate the themes of Topology with exhibitions spanning two years, across venues in the UK, Portugal, Greece, and Peru. This first exhibition, at the GRND House, marks the beginning and will present a shifting display of collaborative exploration.
