"En el Jardín de senderos que se bifurcan", es una
exposición en la MOTHER GALLERY de Nueva York.
Brigida Caramagna, Colin Hunt y Karsten Krejcarek, son tres
artistas que trabajan bajo la suposición de que el tiempo no es lineal, la
realidad es amorfa y las dimensiones son permeables.
En el Jardín de Senderos
que se Bifurcan, Jorge L. Borges escribió sobre "... una serie infinita del tiempo, una red creciente y vertiginosa de
tiempos divergentes, convergentes y paralelos ". Años antes los físicos
concebirían un universo paralelo en términos científicos, inspirado por tales
ideas.
In The Garden
Of Forking Paths
Mother
Gallery is pleased to present “In the Garden of Forking Paths”, an exhibition
with
work by
Brigida Caramagna, Colin Hunt, and Karsten Krejcarek; three artists working
under
the
assumption that time is non-linear, reality is amorphous, and dimensions are
permeable.
Shamans,
artists, and storytellers have always had one foot beyond the realm of the
perceptible.
In The Garden of Forking Paths, Jorge L. Borges wrote of “...an infinite series
of times, a
growing, dizzying web of divergent, convergent, and parallel times,” years
before
physicists would conceive of a parallel universe in scientific terms. Inspired
by such
ideas as
the Noumenon, the Multiverse, and Metatron, the artists in this exhibition
embrace
the
unknowable. Here, esoteric subjects don’t have to make for inaccessible work.
Each
maintains a
deep control of their craft, as if in contemplating chaos, one must keep a
steady
hand.
Brigida
Caramagna’s colors and surfaces transcend the materiality of paint to become
spiritual
machines, where viewers are able to access Spirit or the consciousness that
informed
the creation of the painting. In the way a buddhist monk might reach a
meditative
state by
focusing their attention on the ancient Sri Yantra mystical diagram,
Caramagna’s
paintings
can serve as conduits where communion with the sublime is possible.
Colin
Hunt’s paintings in this show are a continuation in a series called “The
Afterlife”.
Sourced
from photographs he took of a neolithic burial henge in Southern England, Hunt
spliced and
overlaid the landscape, upending conventions of traditional landscape
painting.
In doing so, the focus is drawn to what is absent and unseen. For Hunt these
paintings
are a meditation on memory and death and how to exist in a world with the
enormity of
someone else’s non-being.
In new
works created for this exhibition, Karsten Krejcarek examines recent personal
trauma
through
symbolic gestures. His works consider the multiverse as a means of alternative
narrative.
Krejcarek describes his sculptures, in the words of Borges, as “a shapeless
mass of
contradictory
rough drafts.” The works contemplate diverging and converging paths of
interchangeable
biography through hallucinogens, torture fantasy, and synchronous historic
events and objects
