APOCALYPTIC CHANGES OF STATE
We are on the precipice of the current Anthropocene (Paul J. Crutzen, 2000), a quagmire of social and economic polarity, potentially an era of devastation, or a turning point in human revelation and enlightenment. Global media perpetuates divisive fear and discourse, failing to pay heed to the inner and outer apocalypses (apocalypse meaning revelation, derived from the Greek apokálypsis) ignited in response to the culmination of millennia of humanity’s cognitive and practical evolution. As we experience revolutions in faith, folklore, paganism and spirituality, sobering changes to the environment and the natural order, globalisation bringing new understanding of culture, heritage, identity, connectivity and community, alongside increasing advancements in industry, technology and science, we are impelled to undergo a defining naturalcultural awakening.
Apocalyptic Changes of State displays both contemporary art’s potential to act, in dialogue, as a primary conduit through which trans-binary ways of perceiving and thinking about the past, present and future can flow; and how an artist’s unique vision can illuminate realities beyond the darkening veil of modernity.
