Presenting ‘Crime and Ornament’ — a two-person exhibition by contemporary artists Pio Abad and Stephanie Syjuco opening on 7 April 2022.

Pio Abad’s practice is concerned with the social and political signification of things. His work uses strategies of appropriation to mine alternative or repressed historical events, unravel official accounts and draw out threads of complicity between incidents, ideologies and people. Often taking on the form of domestic accessories, Abad’s artworks glide seamlessly between these histories, enacting quasi-fictional combinations with their leftovers.

Stephanie Syjuco works primarily in sculpture, installation and photography, leveraging open-source systems, shareware logic and flows of capital to create friction between high ideals and everyday materials. Her conceptual craft practice translates digital content and process into physical experience, often with an active public component that invites viewers to participate as producers or distributors.
