The exhibition Underflow by Minni Havas (b. 1983) is a spatial composition that follows the logic of poetry, ignoring consistency. Havas explores the underflow within us: hidden emotions and subconscious messages. Illustrated textiles, coloured pencil drawings and oil paintings engage in dialogue in this fascinating display. The exhibition also features Sammutin tulta sumulla (“I fought fire with vapour”, 2021), a book of poems written and illustrated by Havas. The use of multiple art forms invites visitors to approach the riddle with an open mind. What is it all about? Is there something we should solve or understand?
Underflow. Minni Havas
There are photorealistic images that, to our surprise, we cannot quite grasp; they slip beyond our reach like shimmering waves. There are electric, restless, wriggling sentences. There are colours and sounds that resemble a love poem. There’s a cherry. Our minds, bound by logical reasoning, are disturbed, but at the same time, the detachment feels liberating and rewarding. The underflow smoulders with a deep flame.
