an artists' group
exhibition
revolving around and
exploring
the notion of the artistic

and run through July 7th,

Inevitably, upon
our entrance in the hidden chamber where the talisman (1) was set up, we found
ourselves in a space full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. In
the very depths of the chamber, a sitting old man was holding an emerald
tablet. Looking closer at the gems, we were surprised to find out what they
really were: small works of art, emphasizing process, small scale,
experimentation and craze. Their essence was so soft, uncompounded and pure that
‘in what shape they choose, dilated or condensed, bright or obscure, can
execute their airy purposes, and works of love or enmity fulfil.’ (2)
The Smaragdina
in the possession of the elder, contained the secret of the Prima Materia and
its transmutation, by the artist’s hand. Tantalizing and seducing our
imagination, we decided to collect these jewels and exhibit them in an attempt
to reveal the process of turning the “base metal”, into a conscious creator. In
the beginning of this journey there is the death of the ego. The desirable
destination is the ‘alchemy that transforms death drive into a start of life,
of new significance’. (3)
