Perfect Day is a group exhibition exploring the syncretism of beauty within imperfection. The work on view highlights the shifting of paradigms necessary to find beauty within imperfect gestures, the parallels between systemic ideas of perfection and modes of ideal image construction, and how the works on view engage with these possibilities. What brings us to a perfect day? Is the perfect day a seemingly sweet love story?Is it marked by the simplicity of narratives driving most timeless pop music. Or, is it the laid-back fantasy daydream of compiled experiences. Can one re-visit the perfect day, as one might revisit a book fresh, or does it evaporate once experienced? The perfect dayis an auspicious contradiction, defined only as cumulative moments passed, seen through the lens of perspective; while experienced in the present, the realization of its presence lags achingly behind.
