Soft Corners is a mediating work. Soft Corners emphasizes basic elements like Wall and Floor of a space. The work softens the space. It literally takes the edge of. From my on-going interest in the protective qualities of architecture I focussed on the interior space. Rather than architecture as protection to the exterior, this piece reflects on the interior itself being friendly to its user.

How can one work of art moderate another one? Can the audience become the moderator of the works on view? How much translation is needed to bring out relationships between different works? The Part In The Story is an exhibition exploring the transmissive qualities of objects, situations, and storytelling, where one can dissolve into the others.
Curated by Heman Chong and Samuel Saelemakers.
