"As an invitation to students within the Fine Art department of the University of the Witwatersrand, the artist students were invited to respond to the mathematical theory of an asymptote, a theory which represents how a numerical value might get closer to a limit, value or line but never reach it; it suggests continuities, intersections and meeting points, accumulations and trajectories. How have the student body considered their work as a convergence of collective ideation and memory. Artists explore a multitude of responses to this; lineages in record and mythology, existentialism and community, and importantly, the value of  social education through institutional education. 

The exhibition provides an opportunity to re-conceptualize work for exhibition, prepare and test out ideas. For many students to work together in a group exhibition provides a space to negotiate and share space. It has been wonderful working with the WYAA team and the selector Simnikiwe Buhlungu, the schools commitment to shaping new artistic practice is commendable."
