"Every work of art is the child of its time; often it is the mother of our eotions." - Wassily Kandinsky, 1912
You know how I feel is the product of several years of collaboration between five artists. We worked toogether to create curate our own work into a coherent whole around our chosen theme and set up an installation in the 1600 sq, foot Munoz Waxman warehouse space at The Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe. The exhibition includes slow-motion video; photographic abstractions; fabric and wax sculptures; paintings and drawings; and still adaptations of filmic conversations. We considered You know how I Feel as a sort of plea --between lover and beloved, top and the bottom, leader and the followers.... This yearning to connect at the most fundamental level aims towards something more humane, perhaps a moment of trust, a shared history: ourselves and what we think we know about each other.
The collaboration of the five artists includes a carefully co-curated group of international guest artists who respond directly wth their own visual interpretations of "You know how I feel," further enlivening the communcative aspect of the exhibit.
You know how I feel will also feature guerrilla-style interventions in and around the Muñoz Waxman Gallery, converting it into a visually expressive testing ground of multifold emotions and meta-emotions.
