Παράδοξα, η έκθεση Νοn-Existent Hand αποτελεί μια συλλογή από προσωποποιημένες, ακατέργαστες ή επεξεργασμένες χειρονομίες. Οι καλλιτέχνες της έχοντας σαν δορυφόρο μία συνεχώς εναλλασσόμενη χαοτική κατάσταση της περιοχής βασίζουν τα έργα τους στις προεκτάσεις που μπορεί να έχει μια απλή κίνηση των χεριών. Τα έργα επιχειρούν διαφορετικά: άλλοτε κρύβουν την καταγωγή τους, άλλοτε την μετακομίζουν σε μια παραβολή και άλλοτε κυριολεκτούν. Όλα δοκιμάζοντας διαφορετικά να εμπλακούν με τρόπο ιδιοσυγκρασιακό με τα υλικά και την αφήγηση. The Non-Existent Hand show is a compilation of personified rough or processed gestures. Their artists, supported by an ever changing chaotic neighborhood on the background, rely their pieces on the correlations a simple hand gesture may take. The pieces test various ways: sometimes they hide their origin, other times they move their origin into a parable. Sometimes they are literal. They all try on different idiosyncratic formulas to involve materials and narrative.
