On Repetition And Depth
Curated by Elisa Gutiérrez Eriksen
May 1 - 14, 2020
The new iteration of Looking Forward while Looking Back: On Repetition and Depth, presents the works of NARS Alumni Brigitta Varadi, Ellen Bleiwas and Ren Zi.
The works of these artists are deeply rooted in an infinite search for interiorness, for the unseen, and the ritualistic. They exist in a permanent threshold –a constant tension between movement and stillness, between the inside and the outside, between the other and the self.
Through repetitive, meditative gestures, these artists shape and create works that encourage slowness, sensory perception and the exploration of the various meanings of life.
As our daily lives have become spaces of repetition and pause, the practices of these artists lead to a perspective in which our daily actions can become generative, even magical.
