It can be said that art
is what remains after a
course of rejection of ideas >

Not everything we like will be selected for display at Elam artists' end of year show. Their output from over the year will be culled down, refined. Many things were never destined for anything after their role in the process. Upon evaluation, some works may be deemed "not good enough", or prove a weak representative of their maker's artistic practice, or simply cause a hiccup in the overall coherence of work displayed. What will remain to be seen at Elam, at the public showcase in the freshly painted buildings, stands up to a measure whose terms we may never know. And the rest - the offcuts - these too we may never know. This month at Window Onsite, we contemplate the act of rejection in art. Our show features a selection of work from this year's graduating artists - works they chose to exclude from their final year presentations.

This show is based on an idea by Asumi Mizuo,
and is curated by Nell May and Mythily Meher.
