Impressions from Jelena Micić >NOW OR NEVER< colorful exhibition at @galerie_3 Velden.

"We wanted to create a natural oasis in the middle of Marx Halle. A place to relax and rest, a place for creative exchange. It was designed to be a meeting point and a haven of tranquillity at the same time – a break from the hustle and bustle of the art world, and yet at the centre of it." - @martinsteininger_

For ancient cultures, art was more than a reflection of reality: it was knowledge about reality, and a means to create it. The material acted as a vehicle for the spiritual. The Mesopotamians were “among the first to recognize that history is in things, that works of art and monuments mediate between the world of people and the world of the gods, between past, present and future, and that images, unlike people, are infinite beings.“1 Ancient people shaped natural elements into artworks that fascinated modern artists centuries later – not only for their aesthetics, but also because they reflected the promise of an unspoiled world, in which humanity's relationship to nature and spirituality was not yet mediated by technology. Artworks developed by five artists from various generations and varying cultures over the past 70 years act as infinite beings, incorporating ancestral knowledge while remaining rooted in the particular contexts in which they were created. Primordial impulses, hopes, and dreams of a better future emerge in timeless zoomorphic sculptures, in abstract structures and objects from daily life imbued with spirituality.
