Counterforms examines how meaning is structured through absence. As described by Ellen Lupton and grounded in principles articulated by Jan Tschichold, counterforms refer in typography to the spaces within and around letters that make them legible, defining proportion and rhythm and shaping how forms are read. This logic informs the exhibition, where interstices operate as an organising condition.
Across film, photography, installation, painting and ephemera, fragmentation and mediation shape how works are produced and encountered. Images appear displaced or incomplete, objects register traces of use, removal and redaction, and sound resonates as both presence and residue, unfolding through layered temporal and material conditions. Systems of capture, processing and display further condition how these works take form and come into view. The exhibition extends counterform as a structuring principle, through which intervals, discontinuities and spatial relations determine encounter.
