KAIROS – About Time
On September 28, 2024, KAIROS emerged at Indra Gallery as a temporal rupture—a living meditation on the sacred urgency of now. Curated by Kaycee and myself, this three-day exhibition assembled 33 boundary-defying artists and collectives across painting, sculpture, installation, video, performance, and photography to explore the elusive moment when time cracks open and transformation becomes possible.
KAIROS is not a chronology—it is a threshold. It captures the liminal instant when the world shifts, when the veil thins, and when the present demands action. Rooted in spiritual inquiry and the cyclical nature of existence, the exhibition reimagines art as ritual, as invocation, as portal.
The opening performance featured Mai Nguyen Tri, whose Butoh-inspired choreography translated time into visceral movement, and Kefan Wang, a shamanic practitioner guiding audiences through a spiritual journey that blurred the line between ritual and revelation.
Artists such as Eveleigh-Evans, Xiyan Chen & Yinzhe Qu, and Sebastian Espejo contributed works that dissolved the distinction between the physical and metaphysical, inviting viewers into spaces where perception bends and the unseen becomes tangible.
KAIROS was not merely an exhibition—it was a call to presence, a collective act of witnessing the alchemy of the moment. It asked not what time is, but what time could become when held with intention.
