Storytelling is an exhibition interested in the ability for artworks to speak on behalf of their creators. Envisaged as narratives given physical form, this exhibition considers the work of five diverse artists as enacting first and third-person perspectives. By interpreting these works through the structure of narrative devices, this exhibition clarifies the fundamental principle that all art is a form of storytelling.
