Be Home in 10 is a group exhibition that explores the theme of time and its impact on the lives and creative output of young artists. Time is a force that shapes our experiences, influencing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Time is a finite resource. We only have a limited amount of it in our lives, and we must make choices about how we spend it. This can be a source of both opportunity and anxiety, as we strive to balance our personal goals and desires with the demands and expectations of the world around us. This exhibition brings together works by emerging artists from all walks of life who have been influenced by the effects of time during their short walk in this world. The exhibition takes its name from the sense of urgency and anticipation that accompanies the idea of being home in a short amount of time. This theme is reflected in the works on display and through a diverse range of mediums and styles, Be Home in 10 invites viewers to contemplate the various ways in which time shapes our understanding of home and space. With time being such a deeply subjective experience, it can be both elastic and rigid, depending on our state of mind and the circumstances of our lives. From meditations on the transience of youth, reflections on its impact to shaping the emotional, social and cultural landscapes of our lives, to explorations of the cyclical nature of history, each work offers a unique perspective on time and its significance in our lives. Through this exhibition, we invite viewers to reflect on their own relationship with time and home, to consider how it shapes their daily experiences and long-term aspirations, as well as to engage with the perspectives of a new generation of artists who are grappling with these questions in their own ways. The new diverse insights presented in Be Home in 10 provide a rich and nuanced exploration of such a complex relationship. Ultimately, Be Home in 10 serves as a testament to the power of art to illuminate the human experience and to provoke deep reflection on one of the more illusive forces of nature which can lead us to greater insights and empathy, helping us to live more fully and compassionately in our present moment.
