This publication is produced as a catalogue of the group exhibition of the same title held at Osage Hong Kong from January to February 2014.

'The material of artistic practice has often been taken for granted as a simple part of the process of production phase in the making of a work of art but as thereby minor to the reading and appreciation of the work itself. The great tradition of abstraction was in fact a multivalent practice not to be defined by one singular approach or form.

This exhibition is composed of artworks by four artists who come from four different countries that together span East and Southeast Asia. Placed beside one another, the artworks show a certain unity as much as a distinction. This unity is, in essence, a commitment to the materiality of artistic practice not simply the basis of much of artistic practice but, as its subject.' - excerpted from curatorial notes.

Includes artist biographies and introduction of the curator.
