Keeping Things Whole
“In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body's been.We all have reasons
for moving.
I move to keep things whole.”Mark Strand, Selected Poems, 1979
“It's been a while since I have wanted to gather in a common exhibition visual artists who, like me, are also devoted martial artists (by ‘devoted’ I mean artists that are equally committed to their visual as well as their martial art); therefore, when I was afforded the opportunity to intervene in a dojo, this event assumed its “raison d'être”. I have chosen the title Keep in touch to be able to summarise different aspects: the resolve to share the progression of one's artistic journey, the concept of ‘encounter’, typical of martial arts and lastly, and possibly most importantly, the idea to stay in touch with the world and one's surroundings, an expression to describe the artistic sensitivity able to unveil and show reality from different perspectives.” Excerpt from the Curator Valentina Perazzini.
