The space occupied by the INFLIGHT gallery is not a neutral one: its residual industrial features, its reinvention as a contemporary art space and its partial separation from adjoining spaces reveal a layered past and a heterogenous nature.
 
Each of the artists in this exhibition have drawn on fine threads, tiny observations and intuitive responses in building works that are anchored to the site - this process reveals aspects that hint at the past, tickle the present and unlock future potential. By breaking the contract of the “white cube,” they depart from the fragile deceit of the singular, contained, and generic by gesturing towards a poetics of the all-encompassing margin; of that which is obscured, incidental or discarded, of that omitted by intent.
