I was initially interested in the title “Soluble” for this months show at Nationale. Now, the title seems like a superficial attempt to unify the four artists that are featured. However, soluble, as an adjective, brings to mind process, change, dissolution, and for me in the context of a group show, the potential for an examination of the identity of each individual artist when faced with exhibiting in a group environment. The unity of this show derives from the use of textiles while some of the concepts presented seemed to struggle against one another rather than melding or even participating in the same conversation. The resulting exhibition, while presenting a few strong pieces, as a whole left me with unanswerable questions about the solubility of the ideas of these four artists.
