Grip & Grit

What happens in the encounter between body and object? In this themed exhibition, we explore the relationship between humans and the things we take in our hands: the racket, the helmet, the gloves, the shoes. Objects that extend the body, carry memories of movement, absorb both force and failure. Grip & Grit is a reflection on humanity's attempt to reach further – with the help of something outside ourselves. Here is the sweat in the wrap, the will in repetition, the warmth lingering in the boxing glove. Things that speak – not only of sport, but of longing, control, and the strange rituals we call training.
