Flight: Works About Velocity and Flight
Our fascination with speed and movement through the air is
probably as old as our ability to reason. Whether it be through mythological
cautionary tales such as the flight of Icarus, or the scientific quest for
technology through such visions as those proposed by the sketches of Leonardo
DaVinci or Elon Musk, the concept has paralleled humanity's progress through the
millennia in many forms, with many results. It seems even our subconsciousness
carries a deeply rooted link to the process of flight, as many people recount
having lucid aerobatic dreams. Like flight, velocity in general carries with it
both technical, symbolic, and practical meaning. Speed (and velocity) is
relative to time, distance, and direction. Manifest is interested in how these
concepts, together or separate, are explored in visual art today.
FLIGHT is a gallery exhibit that brings together a range of works which address, explore, or present issues, concepts, forms, or images related to flight, flying, or velocity.
