Dec 08, 2023 at 11:00am ~ Dec 22, 2023 at 7:00pm

Touching Transcendence: Exploring the Hand’s Spiritual Symbolism
“Touching Transcendence” delves into the metaphorical significance of the hand as a conduit between the divine and humanity. It examines the hand’s role in nonverbal communication, bridging spirituality and reality. This section of the exhibition explores how the hand, a powerful symbol in various cultures and religions, represents divine presence in art. Featuring works from 22 artists, including Andrey Ludmer, Özge Ertürk, and Andrea Soverini, the show presents a collaborative journey through the transformative and spiritual aspects of the hand, its gestures, and the divine-human relationship.

Influences: Closing the Chapter on a Collaborative Journey
In this exhibition, “Influences” showcases the final three issues of the Zerofeedback publication. Inspired by the surrealist “exquisite corpse” game, it features collaborative artistic exchanges between photographers. Highlights include mixed media explorations of Japan by Alex Harrison and Thomas Knott, symbolic color interplay by Stéphanie Pineau & Sohei Nakanishi, and a unique intertwining of memories by John Sypal & Giovanni Pascarella. A special talk by Sypal and Pascarella delves into these creative dialogues. The exhibition not only celebrates the culmination of these thematic explorations but also offers other editions for sale, inviting deeper engagement with the project.
