9+ONE, Part-II
Inter Dimensional Journeys
a group art exhibition by 9 Emerging Artists
Nine voices resound,
Memory becomes the tenth,
Time folds into art.
Two years after its first chapter, 9+ONE returns with Part II—nine artists stepping into the present, while the eighteen from before remain as the "+ONE", carried in memory and time. Together, they form a continuum where past and present meet.
This exhibition spans painting, printmaking, sketch, ceramics, sculpture, and installation, each work pushing against the edges of perception. Rather than offering explanations, these artists invite us to enter shifting spaces, encounter mirrored selves, and listen to the quiet echoes of memory.
Part II is not a conclusion but a return to the threshold—where certainty blurs and imagination begins.
Welcome back.
When Edge Gallery first presented 9+ONE: Interdimensional Journeys in 2023, it was an experiment — bringing together eighteen young artists with diverse voices, united by a willingness to question the boundaries of perception. The title, drawn from the nine physical dimensions plus time, suggested journeys into realms of possibility that science touches, philosophy imagines, and art uniquely evokes. The exhibition was received as fresh and thought-provoking, reminding us that art’s true value lies not only in answers but in questions.
Two years later, 9+ONE: Interdimensional Journeys Part II carries this conversation forward. The number narrows — nine artists are featured — while the earlier eighteen remain present as the “+ONE,” transformed into memory and time. Their earlier contributions remind us that art is never isolated: it is always in dialogue with what came before, layering meanings across exhibitions, years, and audiences.
The nine artists here span modern and contemporary practices, heritage and experiment. Their chosen mediums extend beyond painting into sketch, relief, experimental ceramics, and installation, opening fresh encounters with form and space. Their works are provocative not for spectacle but for insistence — they urge us to sit with uncertainty, to recognize the invisible, to sense shifting realities.
Some pieces hint at memory bending across time; others suggest parallel selves or spaces that change as we look at them. Together they echo the spirit of ideas circulating in science — from string theory to multiverses — but without claiming to explain them. Instead, they translate these concepts into artistic experience: helping us feel what science cannot prove, sense what philosophy only speculates, and imagine what lies beyond certainty.
In this sense, 9+ONE: Part II is both continuation and return. It re-enters the threshold — that edge where perception falters and imagination begins. Here, the viewer is not a passive observer but an active participant, invited to look, to listen, to sense, and to imagine.
