Bringing together thirteen abstract artists

On The Calculation of Volume takes its title from the series of novels by Solvej Balle, in which the protagonist Tara Selter, finds herself caught in a single day, the 18th of November, that repeats itself over and over. She comes to know the shape of the day through its repetitions and rhythms. Patterns form, events reoccur and loop- from a piece of bread falling from a plate every morning, a blackbird breaking into song, or the timing of a rain shower. Over time, these repetitions gradually start to shift and fall in and out of sequence. In some instances, objects and events drop away altogether, leaving tenuous, yet indelible traces that sit under the surface of the day.

On The Calculation of Volume brings together thirteen abstract artists whose works engage with forms of image-making that individually reveal themselves as types of reality. These are works that come out of an attentiveness to the world and carry a sensibility and way of being present in it.
