New Art Projects is delighted to present Wake, a group exhibition featuring works by Isabella Benshimol Toro, Gabriel Cautain, Graham Silveria-Martin and Oona Wilkinson.
At the boundary between what fades and what remains, Wake questions what survives after disappearance. This exhibition is not only concerned with what has been lost, but also with how traces continue to manifest themselves over time. Here, the artists focus on these subtle signs: remnants of unfinished experiences, dissipated desires, and fractured timelines – all hinting at a past presence still unfolding in the present.
The works presented here create spaces where absence becomes almost palpable. They do not seek to faithfully recreate what is no longer there, but to reveal how this void shapes our perceptions. These traces, whether tangible or not, linger and help shape how we perceive and make sense of what remains.
The title Wake evokes both the trace left by movement, like the wake of a boat, and the moment of reflection after a loss. These two meanings come together in the act of noticing what remains and what stays with us.
