Extensions of the Soul explores the intricate dynamics between personal and collective narratives within contemporary life. The exhibition features work that navigates entropy, catastrophe, and chaos, juxtaposed with themes of hope, healing, and dreams. It offers a delicate balance between interior and exterior traumas, presenting these narratives through the lens of contemporary existence.
The artists peel back layers of reality, revealing the complexity of the human psyche and its relation to society. The exhibition provides a profound journey into sociology and psychology, unravelling new insights into the human condition with each artwork.
About the Curator:
Pia MYrvoLD, an innovative multidisciplinary artist, brings her distinct vision to “Extensions of the Soul.” Recognised for her integration of art, music, technology, and fashion, she has curated exhibitions at major institutions like the Centre Pompidou and participated in the Venice Biennale. Her influential works, including a major installation at the Shenzhen Art Museum, which attracted over 220,000 visitors, are a testament to her groundbreaking approach.

Meryl Donoghue: Known for her mastery of mixed media, Donoghue’s works transcend the visual, touching on the ethereal and uncanny. Her narratives challenge perceptions and engage with the emotional landscapes of the human experience.
Paul Freud: Drawing from a legacy of exploring the human mind, Freud’s art navigates the psychological complexities of emotional existence. His contributions to the exhibition provoke dialogue on the depths of the human psyche.
Pia MYrvoLD: A pioneer in blending art, fashion, music, and digital installations, MYrvoLD’s work transcends conventional boundaries. Her career spans decades, and her creations are known for fostering interactive spaces that spark reflection and contemplation.
