Artists featured in the show translate ethical beliefs and social ideologies into tangible forms, questioning how materials can carry moral and political weight. They explore how material choices reflect or challenge power structures, sustainability, and cultural narratives. The exhibition also highlights processes of disciplined creation, where principle is embedded in the method of making as much as in the final artwork.

By examining these diverse perspectives, Principle Material invites visitors to reflect on how abstract principles are embodied, contested, and transformed through physical substance. The show reveals the vital role material plays not only as a medium but as a carrier of meaning that continuously shapes and reshapes artistic expression in the contemporary moment.
