TuTOK: NEXUS An Exhibition of New Site Specific Installations exploring the
confluence, the intersections, the nexus between and betwixt politics and
art, between idealism and stark reality, between philosophy and pragmatic
survivalism, between the mundane and the transcendent, between the violent
and the sublime, between the commercial and the heroic, between the
corporeal and the ethereal, between heaven and earth
