Not standing still

Aug 08, 2018 - Sep 01, 2018

Energy sustains live order through a kind of agitation, a little faster and a little hotter. Lack or loss of new energy leads to breakdown of order; perhaps into a collapse, or static equilibrium.

Biophilia means love of living systems. Artists have long used artworks as testing space for new and idiosyncratic systems, systems that do not stand still. Systems that confront reality, systems that emerge in daily life and look toward the future. Our understanding of what is ‘living’ has expanded through appreciation of interrelations within geological and biological systems. Not standing still brings together artists and works that involve visual and embodied systems, along with phenomena of changing conditions.
