Air
& water are the elemental systems of all life forms – flora & fauna
(including human). They display the interdependence & interconnection of all
phenomena. All cellular life is embedded in the planetary systems of air &
water (weather, precipitation, photosynthesis, respiration).
This
exhibition explores and celebrates the multiple ways these often overlooked,
but essential, forces of life interact and are interdependent. The artists will
consider the perceptions, social understandings & insights that fall under
this wide parameter of the “system” - system as structure, arrangement,
network, complex, methods, frameworks.
Some
questions arise – how do we attach or make meaning in that which transpires
between air and water? Is this the large mystery of the planet, or is it also
the question of the heart and mind that can communicate beautiful and abstract
concepts through objects, images and the senses?
The
exhibition will consist of photography, video, installation & mixed media.
