Does your body remember when it was once a mountain?
Does your skin remember when it was once water?
Do you remember floating in the dark, warm ocean, before you had a name
…were you not already tide, mineral, breath, and light?
“Ode to the Moon: If the Body is a Tide, Art is Emergence” brings together works by David McDonald, Deborah Lynn Irmas, Nancy Ivanhoe, and Tia Xia. Curated by Ann Shi, the exhibition continues a poco art’s inquiry into embodiment, cosmology, and the body as a field of relations.
Drawing upon the Taoist notion of ziran (in Chinese, 自然), or “self-so-ing,” the exhibition considers how bodies, memories, landscapes, and materials arise through relation. Through geometric structures, chromatic atmospheres, sculptural surfaces, and spatial interventions, the artists invite viewers to encounter abstraction as a living ecology of perception, breath, and transformation.
