The collection on display invites us to suspend the development apparatus for a moment and to rediscover our crosshatched and gray relationship with the city rather than immersing ourselves into the city. Perhaps from these encounters we can build a new relation to the city rooted in life and resistance.  
A. The city is a collection of walls; horizontal, vertical and lopsided walls. B. Development in a general sense means building walls. Basically, more walls means more development. C. These days the process of making walls starts with digging a hole, then blocking the view with plastic wrap or tarpaulin around it. And after a while suddenly new walls arise. D. For us, the city dwellers and observers, the development apparatus and its walls and holes have turned into a chronic agitation. As if these wheels will never stop. We constantly scan these walls and holes with our chords. We may build it up from the wastes, devouring the city, and vomiting on the other side of it. The collection on display is an attempt to represent a statuesque of the city. The show invites us to suspend the development apparatus for a moment and to rediscover our crosshatched and gray relationship with the city rather than immersing ourselves into the city. Perhaps from these encounters we can build a new relation to the city rooted in life and resistance.
