The exhibition at the Bellow Grand gallery is an exchange project between Prague's off-space gallery Berlinskej Model and the similarly focused artist-run gallery Below Grand in New York introducing six Czech artists.
The theme of the show explores the relationship between the body and the mimicry that surrounds it seeks to capture life by merging it with poetry. When we perceive and experience matter differently from how its worldly essence is perceived, it will guide us to a fuller and more spiritual experience of life.
The exhibition Holy Matter is, thanks to the interconnection of the thoughts, concepts, objects, and images of several artists, a metaphor for living/vibrating matter. However, the matter to which it refers is by no means limited to creatures. The show explores the relationships between the body and the material that both constitutes and determine it. Could this be that vibrating matter which, if we resonate with it, perceive it, and experience it differently from how its secular nature is perceived, will guide us to a deeper knowledge of life?
