drill: an exhibition by Master Artistic Research

This is not a drill! – or perhaps, is it?

Drill unfolds as a space for testing, revising and risking. Rather than emerging from a predetermined theme, the exhibition begins from a shared moment of transition: students Master Artistic Research midway through their studies, navigating deadlines and moving towards something not yet fully formed. The exhibition takes place at Paradise from Friday 21 November to Sunday 23 November.

The exhibition captures a moment where thinking and making are still unsettled but ready for a public encounter. It functions as a training ground, a practice exercise, a simulation: a site to try out ideas still taking shape. It embraces risk as method, a leap into the unknown, a material or conceptual detour, a break from established approaches, or an insistence on process. It buzzes, beams, flickers, resisting resolution.

A drill, like a rehearsal, involves repetition, yet no action is ever the same twice. This continuous loop of doing and undoing opens a space for improvisation: for deviation from the known and predictable outcomes. Drill is both a preparation and performance, a collective exercise in staying alert, responsive and open to the unfinished.
