The sky is higher here
Transmitter is pleased to present The sky is higher here, a group exhibition curated by Leila Seyedzadeh, featuring works by Hedwig Brouckaert, Simone Couto, Edi Dai, Saba Farhoudnia, Victoria Martinez, and Ingrid Tremblay.
Why is it that all that blue refuses to be contained? It refuses to be shaped, measured, and revealed in all its dimensions. It is the panorama that we see from the Earth, the dome that we cannot reach, a 鈥榖owl鈥� flipped on top of our existence, yet occupying no space. By studying the Moon and the stars and by connecting our moods to the way it smiles or cries, we are still trying to make sense of the sky that surrounds us. Despite the insurmountable distance between the Earth and the sky and its defiance to be understood, these artists search to make it accessible and deeply familiar. We know that only something as magnificent, shapeless, and borderless as the sky can hold the sum of all our heart鈥檚 grief and hopes without ever pouring over.
The Sky is higher here was born out of a collective search to dissolve the unseen boundaries between what is free of the physical and what is not. It is an attempt to mirror what we find in the sky and what it reveals in us. It is only ironic that we need to weave a thread between physical objects that manifest it and what it means to us. Through a variety of mediums such as painting, photography, textiles, mixed media, and more, each artist examines the vastness of the sky and finds refuge in this great space without borders. This collection explores time, location, displacement, memory, grief, hope, and identity.
