About
Caves have been and still are intriguing spaces, for science, literature and art.
For the scope of this exhibition, the “cave” (in the broadest sense of the term) is envisioned as a liminal space where different disciplines interlink and feed into each other
Students are invited to submit work which might relate to:
* the anthropology, art history, science of “real” caves
* working in dark / enclosed / silent / secluded spaces
* partcular landscapes or environments reminiscent/connected to caves
* the metaphorical or symbolical meanings attached to the idea of a “cave”
* personal visions / dreams / memories in any way related to a “cave”
The scope of this exhibition is to form a dialogue around the perceptions of ecology, human responses to new or unexplored surroundings, learning through the senses and embodied experiences, and the role of art and creativity in the process of shaping and understanding the environments we live in.
