Opus Vincula was the debut solo exhibition of ExLab artist Charlie White, featuring experimental cement forms and chain-bound furniture made from discarded mattress foam found on the streets. The exhibition identity draws inspiration from a range of source material, from heavy metal cover art to brutalist architecture, exploring materiality through heterogeneous combinations of photo-image, typography, and 3D animated forms.
