Around the Bend explores an imaginative turn where the familiar folds into the unknown, and curiosity becomes a compass. The featured artists navigate the ever-shifting terrains of contemporary thought and feeling. Each artwork serves as a point along the curve, capturing a moment of suspension between what is visible and what is yet to be revealed.

Within the spirit of Rabbit Hole, a space of playful disorientation and profound discovery, Around the Bend extends the metaphor of descent and emergence. The Bend represents both a literal and psychological shift in perception, a quiet rebellion against linearity, and an embrace of what lies just beyond sight. The exhibition serves as an experiential journey where artistic visions intertwine, merge, and diverge, revealing the restless pulse of imagination that propels creation forward.

With works spanning diverse media and sensibilities, the show celebrates the moment of turning, a collective threshold where anticipation meets revelation. Around the Bend reminds an individual that the most compelling art often resides not in the destination, but in the thrilling, uncertain curve that leads humanity there.
