Incomprehensibility As Metaphor Part 2

There certainly exists an incomprehensible global alignment of artistic efforts, a bridge of collective interpretations of transient themes that are universal to the personal and public narratives.

To work at nurturing a radical existential interconnection in the face of our physical displacements and phantom lives; re-emerging and disintegrating within subversions of cultural hegemony.

Being authors of diverse cultural heritages superimposed and transposed to a level of instinct and commemorative memory.

What better way to relearn that would enunciate our united machine that represses individual desires?

Enfolded minds presenting a singular intimation, establishing languages of beyond patronised art, the sedated type engaged with trends, but an art practice that flaunts convention, reflecting on our interwoven dystopia futures. 

Should there be move towards a new collective subjectivity, art as tool for improvising unitary exchange’s where the diverse units create a global native narrative?

What are devices to be used to grasp what binds all of us to a common instructive venture into the subjective? 

How do we envision the merging of the spiritual and material in a porous ritual, venerating art objects whose meaning is often comprehensible through sites of passages into altered states of mind?

Pulsating, living environments of the soul contacting each other, stretching tentacles into infinite immaterial realms, that is our devotional function as artists that never arrive at destinations intuited.

Artists excavating new solutions for old drudgery, together gathering and retaining an aesthetic awareness of their own accord. 

These reformulations of sacred omens, are for a contemporary imagination, a reawakening of multiple perspectives that reside in places we inhabit with our sacred dreams. 

A space where imagination provides its inhabitants an impulse for visibility, an anchored identity with meaningful wings to sore aloft staged images of our world - to make present the chaotic, transparent all constellations of pleasure and sorrow, exposing the self to intoxicating experiences beyond the sensory.

Our purpose therefore is to continually dissect our present and not withhold unknowable that trouble us, affectively reckoning with desires for a tinge of selfhood that continues to accompany our wonderment at life.

This art practice is not a mere escapism of the marginalised and their symbols of expression, from the medieval to the contemporary, from myths and habits to the realm of subjective realities.

It is an origins tale with new imagery sculpted from recent and distant pasts pulverised to a canvas of deconstructed materials and seeds mingled with curiosity and awe.

And together as we create alliances of artistic and literary narratives in salvaged form, assembled and yet slippery within a cultural atmosphere of discarded but remodelled materials and emotions - we begin to move from our conspicuous invisibility, charting a new and amorphous trajectory.
