The Way We Fall

12. November – 18. Dezember 2021

Simone Weil, in her notebooks that would later be published as Gravity and Grace, describes the inescapable force that drags us all down as a condition of our creation. Ever since the maker’s cord was cut at the knot of our navels we’ve been plummeting. A hidden force that spares no one and no thing, from funus to funis,¹ this is the way we fall.

Can we be relieved of this burden? The graceful practice of Decreation, Weil replies, will ‘make things come down without weight.’² We must unmake ourselves and our hall of mirrors.

The artists here work within the firmament between gravity and grace. (This is not to say they hover – beware the levitating cowboy.)
