“Bird / Plane” Exhibition
New Release
This event has ended.
The philosopher Henry Bergson once wrote, “When it is said that an object occupies a large space in the soul or even that it fills it entirely, we ought to understand by this simply that its image has altered the shade of a thousand perceptions or memories, and that in this sense it pervades them, although it does not itself come into view.”
New Release presents Bird / Plane, a group exhibition with Elizabeth Glaessner, Max Heiges, Emma Kohlmann and Marlon Wobst. Within their own style and medium, each artist follows Bergson’s contemplation and allows for questions such as:
“is it one thing or the other”
“is it the angle in which I am standing”
”is it due to the conversation I just had”
“is it because I forgot my glasses”
“is it because I am paying too much attention or too little”
“will it change the next time I glance over”
“what did I think it was before you said that”
