The Liminal Space

The exhibition guides us into Paul Snell’s playful yet perplexing space of assembled knowledge, situation and circumstance that moves and flows in a dynamic momentum. His works are penetrating and active punctums that compel us to explore the in-betweens of being and becoming within liminality. Liminal Space creates a situation in which we can question and unsettle our existing perceptions and ways of knowing. Rather than experiencing an easily shared idea or commonly held belief, Snell’s work acknowledges that meaning making can be disturbing, unexpected, and even hesitant. In entering into Snell’s Liminal Space, we can take some time to play in the void of vulnerability and uncertainty, where understanding can be interrogated and ruptured, allowing us to then, if we choose to do so, linger in an intensely affective personal experience
