The World As Glass: Group Presentation
-
COMA is plesed to present the group exhibition titled The World As Glass, on view from 16 January, 2026 to 21 February, 2026 at 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville, Sydney, NSW, 2204.
Featuring all-Australian artists, The World As Glass investigates the opacity of human intention, revealing how easily certainty can splinter under pressure. Pulling from a case hisotry recorded in the autobiography of Carl Jung, the meeting point between a psychologist and patient who confesses some twenty years ago she committed a murder, that was then readopted in a novel by Morris West titled The World is Made of Glass (1983), to present fact as fantasy. This exhibition looks at how a layering of the act of presenting truth provides multiple points for reality to fracture and shatter. At the meeting point of a confrontation of will and personal truth, morals are tested and examined while reality itself becomes skewed. The World As Glass brings together a group of Australian artists that seek contemporary art-making as not only a retelling of truth and reality, but how it may break or hold when we do.
