The namesake of the exhibition references the social behavior of vacation, during which people can take a respite from the regular routine of work to be free and unoccupied. Informed by the existential theorization of vacation, which purports it as a means to resist the existential predicament of modern society and a possibility to reach the state of authenticity, Vacation adopts the conceptualization of existential psychology to examine the transcending potentials of art. Transforming the gallery space into a liminal zone where norms and orders are temporarily suspended, the exhibition seeks to provide distinctive experiences by accentuating the essential components of change in space and time.
