Perpetual Shift

Vivian, PF

Abstract

The 14 artists in Perpetual Shift, a one-day group show, share the connection of fleeting or shifting appearances, with an undercurrent of psychedelic experience. This experience is akin to Aldous Huxley’s understanding of the psychedelic (The Doors of Perception) as actually getting closer to reality, rather than further away from it. He thought that normally the brain operates as a reductive valve, screening out most experience, but in the psychedelic that valve is bypassed.

Some of the artists have created new work in response to the theme, while others present existing pieces, across media including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video and installation.
