Curators: Catalina Aranguren, Mary Waltham, Sonya Lee
What do you see through the clouds? Blue skies, an opening up to colorful fun times, jesters, jokers, party-time? Feeling positive about the other side of the clouds, going places, seeing new things? What does your sunny-side conjure up that visually interprets “…through the clouds”.
Co-curated by Sonya Lee, Catalina Aranguren and Mary Waltham the exhibition showcases 36 international artists from 16 countries.
A first collaboration with Walk Bye a truly complimentary public art partner and social media platform based in Jersey City, NJ, USA.
(The curators participated but naturally did not jury their own work.)
The movement of light and shadows formed by the interplay of trees, wind , sunlight and Setsuna (1) on the landscape. The Japanese have unique word “komorebi” to describe this natural phenomenon.
Note:
*There is no similar word other than Japanese. This Artwork title is the English translation of “Komorebi”.
*The “komorebi” projected on the ground has the same round shape as the sun, and is not affected by the shape of the gaps between the leaves where the sunlight enters. This is the same principle as a pinhole camera.
(1) “Setsuna” is Japanese pronounce of Ksana (see note 2).
(2)[ Ksana (setsuna) = 0.013 seconds]
In Buddhism, they use a Sanskrit word “ksana” to measure time, which is a tiny unit of time. Such a small amount of time that all kinds of things happen eludes our conscious awareness. And this amount of time is approximately one seventy-fifth of a second, i.e. 0.013s. In each 0.013 second (= ksana), “Born, Live, Die” loop cycles keep recurring in human consciousness in one Ksana = 0.013 second.
