Meanwhile, everybody hid under the table

Joint exhibition Malgorzata Maria Olchowska and York Bing Oh in gallery Radar 20a in Gent, 2025

“An experiment with remnants. Moments once captured – photographed, observed – then gone. Working separately, this exhibition places our works side by side, juxtaposing images and objects. Our individual pieces sometimes merge, overlap, and interact in this proximity.
Sometimes, a piece of work is in the foreground, sometimes in the background. Sometimes, the front side is seen, sometimes the backside. This is how we see things – always in relation to the other. It is an attempt to examine our works from different perspectives, seeking new connections and exploring themes of collaboration, transformation and reinterpretation.”

The title of exhibition “Meanwhile, everybody hid under the table” is from To the Lake by Kapka Kassabova
