The title “Peak Shift” refers to a psychological phenomenon that propels an individual to crave for more/larger objects once he/she has become enamored with a specific object or entity. In the context of this exhibition, it denotes the trajectory that the sculptural medium has taken from single object to installation art with multiple objects and the expansion of spatial concepts. The artists in “Peak Shift” are fewer in number than previously, but several of them have been given two to four contiguous silo spaces in order to be able to create more complex installations.
