Examining each layer

In this exhibition, we unravel the layers of meaning behind ‘Degrees’.

From the nuanced shades of truth that shape our perceptions to the tangible degrees of temperature that influence our environment, the exhibition creates a dynamic dialogue between different dimensions of this concept.

Submerged into the concept

Situated in a pivotal battleground state, the exhibition also contemplates the intricate relationship between degrees and the pressing issue of global warming. Delving into the political discourse, we examine how degrees of belief and denial intersect, particularly in the context of climate change debates.

Furthermore, the exhibition prompts contemplation on the notion of an art degree. What does it signify? How does it define one's creative journey? These questions guide us through an exploration of artistic qualifications and the degrees of expertise they represent.

Radiating Together

Approaching from every angle

GPS and DoCA collaborated to create merchandise that suited the exhibition, including a mug and a koozie to keep drinks hot and cold respectively, humorously relating to the overall concept.
