Lines —Aligning your consciousness with the flow

In the quest for a more harmonious and balanced relationship between humans and nature, art, with its characteristically open and receptive mindset and willingness to question existing assumptions, can serve as an important platform for reconsidering where we stand, living in the present moment, and the question of where to direct our consciousness. We believe that our active engagement with the natural world also has an impact on contemporary shifts in consciousness and our understanding of ʻthe worldʼ. Referring to Tim Ingoldʼs idea that most of what artists produce in their endless pursuit of the clues they find in nature proceeds along lines, the exhibition “Lines —Aligning your consciousness with the flow” explores the world in terms of a web of interconnected ecological processes and integrates our creative human practices into a broader context, presenting works by artists who actively participate in explorations of these lines, understanding the act of tracing and following them as an ongoing process of a kind of positive ʻbecomingʼ, continuing to stitch together a variety of rifts and cracks in order to live.
