De Numero
In their first
exhibition together, artists Arvi Fetalvero and Angelo Magno ponders upon how
does defining aspects of our lives into mere numbers have affected how we
perceive and interact with one another during these trying times. Titled “De
Numero”, the artists highlight the fact that recently we have been inundated
with numbers, parameters, quantities and statistics to supposedly help us make
sense of our uncertain, anxiety-inducing current affairs. While they are indeed
important, when being used as a coping mechanism they can have the adverse
effect of numbing us from the reality of the situation and relegating
individuals into mere clumps of data.
Through the
exhibition the artist opens a discourse not only about the drastic shift in the
cadence of our once normal lives but also on how do we define the concept of
“value” as we apply it to everything that we interact with.
