grass grows by itself
DESCRIPTION
The exhibition includes artworks from both emerging and established artists in an effort to present a multigenerational dialectic of varying methodologies and disciplines. The title of the show, appropriated from a Zen proverb, offers the viewer an opportunity to “sit quietly, doing nothing, as when spring comes, the grass grows by itself...”. The exhibition echoes the proverb’s underlying sensibility by aligning artworks that reflect entropy, contemplation, the passage of time and self-awareness.TRANSCRIPT
