A SPIRES EMBERS
A SPIRES EMBERS is an exhibition exploring the notion of fracture and fractured states within the newly ruptured,raptured,broken and building of states in and of the current global zeitgeist.Here we explore Orpheus' turning gaze.What we find are testimonies to past present past futures. An exploration of spiritual,political,financial terrirotorial shifts,dislocation,anhebriahation of the new,the despair of the lost,the seduction of the found. Artists are invited in the construct of a spire,an aspiration to flood the temple's steeple within a dialogue of saturation to be housed in the Arsenale Kiev. The "steeple" will be an autonomous structure built within one of two chambers 2x1500sq metres of the Mystetskyi Arsenal Kiev. Like an albatros nest,the marathon of trawling of flotsam jetsam,installed in a tower of spatial conduction which will be wrought with the findings and works of artists,both nationally in the Ukraine and internationally. Artists are invited to do interventions within the superstructure and outside within the vaulted states of the Arsenale. This paradigm will be multi discplinary,painting,sculpture,video,sound installation,performative action,time based work,bringing together a ruptured choir of different dialogues. Works will be borrowed from international collections including EIDOS FOUNDATION LUDMILA BEREZNITSKA COLLECTION _+ Museum MAN within the space that is the Arsenale for the
GOGOLFEST KIEV 2009.
