"A Crack in the Shape of Light Getting In marks Ash Moniz's first survey exhibition in Asia. Over the past ten years, Moniz has developed a research-based practice interrogating the violence embedded in supply-chain logistics. This work has centered on how the same visualizations or disruptions used by systems of power to control labor can also be reclaimed by workers as means of resistance, leverage, and solidarity. This tension-between regulation and refusal, between the systems that track lost time and the workers who reclaim it-marks the crack where something else can begin. Engaging the politics of absence, Moniz's work reveals how absence and the unspeakable can give shape to new forms of resistance and connection. Presented across three floors of the museum, the exhibition traces how logistical systems govern not only the circulation of goods, but also the movement of bodies, speech, and time. It moves from labor (fourth floor) to silence (fifth floor) to transnational solidarity (sixth floor), through interconnected explorations of how control operates and how people resist within the uneven flows of global trade. A common thread throughout is Moniz's use of aesthetic strategies that make absence felt. Instead of rendering justice directly, these works expose the relational dynamics of control and opposition, interrupting dominant structures and inviting new forms of shared agency."-- provided by distributor.
