A THICKENING RHYTHM
A project exploring the layering of meaning through the accretion of actions and time, curated by Julie Poitras Santos.
"The artists in A Thickening Rhythm unravel old narratives, build gardens and structures, lace together the world in a fragile web of awareness and desire, and create new territories. Contrasting the speed of our daily lives, all of these works ask of the maker and the viewer to be quiet for a time - a necessary gesture of stillness, a listening - before extending our reach into space, increasing new and multiple networks and connections. We create moments of pause and repetition, thickening places and places of stillness where methodically we build new land -- land we may employ like a raft as we proceed, break free, into new spaces, distant horizons, navigating the world."
