SECOND LIFE
January to March 2021
Second Life is an exhibition sheltering repurposed objects, artworks and installations that will be dispatched throughout the multiple indoor and outdoor spaces of The Courtyard, creating an experiential journey (itinerary) for the viewer.
Mixing art, design, story-telling and workshops, this multidisciplinary exhibition is a collaborative project involving experts from different backgrounds such as artists, designers and architects. Second life acts as a reminder to reconsider our surroundings from space to materials and act on them to serve a better purposeful function visually and conceptually.
The indoor space has been immersed through the selected showcase to define the new purpose of the in-between space since the establishment of Courtyard in 1998. The exhibition overall also presents a mission to raise awareness about preservation and sustainability while reflecting on our environmental responsibility.
