I installed Unity in Division to address a common issue found in group shows. Because the artworks of artists sharing the space varied in theme, shows often seemed fragmented and artworks rarely responded cohesively to each other. Furthermore, artists frequently positioned their pieces near the gallery walls and therefore posed no significant impact on the exhibition space; the center of the gallery remained empty. To create an artwork that meaningfully responded to the show space, I installed massive string nets in the center of the exhibition. They simultaneously divided the conceptual pieces from the material pieces and bridged the halves by acting as a transitional space between the disparate themes. Despite cutting the exhibition, my piece occupied the central space and unified the art show.
