Hello,
I am the guest curator for a book arts exhibit in 2005 at The Hunterdon
Museum of Art (please see below for description). We are wondering if any other
institution would like to have the exhibit travel to their site. A brochure will
be printed for the show. Please contact me off list if you are interested and
need additional information.
Thank you,
Maria
The Elements: Creative Energy - The Hunterdon Museum of Art, Clinton, NJ
Aug. 14 to Oct. 16, 2005
Science, art and philosophy intermingle in our quest to discern the origin of
our world and our inner selves. The ancient western belief was that four
elements, earth, water, fire and air, worked in concert, to create balance out of
chaos. This was a way of beginning to understand relationships in many aspects
of the natural world. In eastern tradition there are forms of energy, or
forces of nature, that interact with our whole physical, psychological and
emotional balance, and are constantly being transformed from one into another.
The alchemists believed they could create new substances. As artists, we
create and transform. This exhibit ask you to explore and respond to this theme by
creating an artist's book or a broadside.
