THERE IS FICTION IN THE SPACE BETWEEN

The Third Line is pleased to present There Is Fiction In The Space Between, a group exhibition celebrating the gallery’s fifteenth anniversary.

This exhibition draws on the breadth of The Third Line’s program by presenting eleven pairings of artworks by twenty-two different artists. Each of these pairings tells stories of aesthetics, ideologies, irony, fables and humor, and while they may or may not have initially been intended to be shown together, their coupling creates a space between them powered only by suggestion and enables a quest into re-defining and re-shaping the facts presented before their viewer.

There is a sense of duality when looking at the selection of works, which can be inter-preted in a variety of ways. Whether it is seen as visual parallels or complementary concepts, the viewer is invited to bring their own fictitious narrative in connecting the duos.

The role fiction plays in our conscious lives is not of empirical nature. It is not fact. But it does bear truth. It is the re-imagination or completion of facts one might see as incomplete. The imagination exists and curls between two facts and makes for infinite possibilities.
