"Boxed" exhibit Statement

Think Manny Pacquiao and boxing. Think Jack in the box. Think boxer
shorts.

Think out of the box.

No, wait, think the box itself & back into the box, detox the self of
all need to find life outside the box because there is nothing else
beyond. Should there be something, it is but a larger box—the cubed
simulations of an endless series of Russian dolls, replicas of a
replica, a continuous opening & closing of possibilities.

(The world in a grain of sand.)
(The jewel in the lotus.)
(Aum mane padme aum.)

BOXED is all about balance, equilibrium, respect for creative space
irrespective of field or discipline.

Gathering artists from & with(in) different backgrounds, BOXED becomes
a gesture toward Wagner's dream of the Gesamtkunstwerk— the total
artwork—which fuses into one mythology all the many, divided arts that
for ages have yearned for wholeness. The exhibit henceforth is not so
much the exhibition of multiple creations but the act of creation
itself—or at least a simulation of the act of creation: the writing of
a singular mythology that contains all perceived and unperceived
reality. Jewel in the lotus. The universe in a box.

Open the box and all six sides fall into place to form a cross. Think
box and think salvation, the paradigm of redemption. Does it surprise
you that the square's four points pertain exactly to the
Tetragrammaton, the four sacred letters that signify the
unpronounceable name of God?

No point in thinking you can think out of the box. There is space for
exploration. Become the box.

Written by Angelo Suarez for BOXED Exhibition at Big Sky Mind last May
2006.
