POINTS OF DEPARTURE
29 Sep
DO YOU EVER GO OUT THERE? BEYOND 3-D SPACE TIME? ITS WILD, A LOT OF IT IS INDESCRIBABLE WITH WORDS AND LANGUAGE . WHEN MULTIPLE BANDS OF DISPARATE INFORMATION ARE HITTING YOU AT THE SAME TIME, IN NON LINEAR FASHION, SOMETIMES IT TAKES YEARS TO DECIPHER THE INFORMATION GAINED IN MOMENTS. I AM THE TIME MASTER, I CAN MAKE THE EARTH SPIN A LITTLE BIT FASTER, I AM THE MIND BENDER SLEEP FOR 100 YEARS & WAKE UP A MINUTE LATER.
READING THE FOREWORD FROM FRANCESCO LOCASTROS’ SHOW IT BECOMES CLEARLY APPARENT A LOT MORE IS GOING ON THAT JUST LAYERED COLOR AND SHAPE IN HIS “GEOMETRY” SERIES. TITLES LIKE IMMUTABLE DESTINY OF THE 12 ARCHETYPES, TRANSGENESIS, AND EXPONENTIAL TIMES INSTANTLY TRANSPORT YOU TO THE WORLD OF HYPERSPACE, THOUGHT-FORMS AND FRINGE CONSCIOUSNESS. WHAT WAS ONCE LOST AND ESOTERIC MANIFESTING IN UNEXPECTED FORMS.
MOVING THROUGH THE PROJECT ROOM, BEHAVIOR PATTERNS BY JESSY NITE STRUCK US WITH A WAVE OF EUPHORIA, WHAT STAYED WITH US WAS THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE THREE SHOWS, LIKE A CONVERSATION ABOUT METAPHYSICS THAT MOVES, FROM THE WORLD OF FORMS, TO THE WORLD OF IDEAS, WHERE BOUNDARIES BEING TO BLUR, TIME & SPACE DISSIPATE, AND YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH THE UNDERPINNINGS OF EXISTENCE, IMAGINED OR REAL
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MIND, PATTERNS BEGIN TO EMERGE, & YOU SEE THINGS YOU PREVIOUSLY OVERLOOKED, ONCE YOU START YOU WILL BE HOOKED, “ORDINARY” & “NON-ORDINARY” REALITY SIT SIDE BY SIDE, WHETHER ACCESSED THROUGH ART, A TRIP, OR A HYPERLINK.
EVERYTHING 🔮 EMANATES
23 Sep
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, BUT WHAT IS THAT ESSENCE, DO YOU HAVE THE TIME TO NOTICE IT? BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME, FOR THAT TRANSCENDENT MOMENT, THE MOMENT THAT HAS ALREADY PASSED, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. . . DID YOU MISS IT?
SEEING “STATUS QUO” INSTANTLY EVOKES IMAGES OF WARHOL SILVER BALLOONS, OR A KOONS, BUT UPON CLOSER INSPECTION THE WORK IS VOID OF THE VITALITY OF A HELIUM BALLOON READY TO ASCEND, THIS RAREFIED AIR HAS BECOME STAGNANT, ITS TIME HAS SADLY PASSED
THE DARKENED GALLERY BECOMES A MAUSOLEUM TO LOST TIME, EMANATING THE LIGHT OF AN IPHONE IN A BLACKED OUT THEATER
WE ALL HOLD RITUALS AND ROUTINES, IT IS HEALTHY TO BE RELEASED FROM THE CONSTRUCTS OF OUR OWN DESIGN. BECAUSE THE MOMENT WE DO, NEW REALITIES PRESENT THEMSELVES
ZEITGEBER ATTESTS TO THE POWER OF BEING, LITERALLY FROZEN IN TIME, AND GIVEN THAT BACK AS A GIFT, IN A TRANSCENDENT MOMENT. “THIS TOO SHALL PASS” DID SOMETHING FOR THE FEW HOURS IT EXISTED IN ITS PRECARIOUS STATE, IT BEGAN TO RESONATE, AND AS IT MELTED IT BEGAN MESMERIZING THOSE THAT BESTOWED IT. THE BLOCK OF ICE REVEALED ITSELF TO BE AN ALTAR, OFFERING MOMENTS OF DEEP CONTEMPLATION, WAITING FOR PAINT TO DRY BECAME WATCHING ICE MELT, IN A POWERFUL, POETIC, MOMENT OF SILENCE
“I WAS HERE” READS LIKE A LINGERING TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF WHAT WAS THERE, THE THINGS THAT YOU TOOK FOR GRANTED THAT ARE NO LONGER PRESENT “TIME IS VERY SLOW FOR THOSE WHO WAIT; VERY FAST FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCARED; VERY LONG FOR THOSE WHO LAMENT; VERY SHORT FOR THOSE WHO CELEBRATE; BUT FOR THOSE WHO LOVE, TIME IS ETERNAL.” – WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
HAMMAR TIME ZEITGEBER
19 Sep
ZEITGEBER IS THE FIRST MAJOR SOLO EXHIBITION IN FLORIDA BY SWEDISH ARTIST PETER HAMMAR.TRANSLATED AS “TIME GIVER,” A ZEITGEBER IS ANY STIMULUS OUTSIDE THAT SYNCHS THE BODY’S INTERNAL CLOCK WITH THE 24-HOUR DAY AND THE 12-MONTH YEAR. EXAMPLES INCLUDE, LIGHT, TEMPERATURE, AND PHARMACEUTICAL MANIPULATION. WE LIVE IN A PERIOD OF CONSTANT STIMULATION, AN UNSUSTAINABLE BARRAGE OF INFORMATION AND DISTRACTION THAT WEARS DOWN THE HUMAN BODY AND MIND. PETERHAMMAR.COM
PETER HAMMAR’S MULTIMEDIA WORK COMMENTS ON THE DIFFERENT CHRONOLOGIES AT PLAY IN OUR LIFE. THE MATERIALS HE USES SPEAK BOTH TO PERMANENCE AND THE FLEETING MOMENT. LCD LIGHTS RIPPLE ALONG AGED WOODEN SURFACES, WALLPAPER IS DISCOLORED BY TIME & SUNLIGHT, BALLOONS & ICE FILL THE GALLERY WITH A FEELING OF EXCITED IMPERMANENCE. PRESENTED IN A MINIMAL AND POP-INFUSED VISUAL LANGUAGE, ZEITGEBER PRESENTS THE VIEWER WITH BOTH THE THRILL & THE PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTIONS OF NOW.
