Studio of Fine Arts II student Pablo Arenas Restrepo aka PoL Manterani will present his project in a one-day exhibition associated with the performance 7Talismans for Regeneration + Sonic Liberations. In addition to 7Talismans for Regeneration, artist Daniel Nulty will also present his sound installation Sonic Liberations. The special concept of the exhibition is related to Pablo Arenas Restrepo's upcoming thesis.
The event is conceived as a ceremonial opening where PoL Manterani will present and charge his seven talismans - the images of Unity, Loving Affection, Amusement, Reconciliation, Gratitude, Devotion, and Active Intelligence. The performance itself will be in collaboration with Sonic Liberations. The event should offer an evening of engagement and celebration, enchantment and regeneration.
A Ceremonial Vernissage:
Talismans are energetically charged objects that carry intentions and desires perpetuated by the spirit of that particular force. The necessity to update our ways of understanding and interacting with reality and others, humans and non-humans, answers the call for coalescence and eventual regeneration. The discoveries of the 7 intentions reveals correspondences:
7 stages of the chromatic scale (perception)
7 chakras (energy)
7 days of the week (information)
This exhibition magnifies the symbiotic cycles that the talismans represent in our lives and how we understand ceremonies not only as occasions of celebration but, more importantly, of transformation.
This event will be a presentation of the works of PoL Manterani, who will present 7 paintings, each corresponding to talismans for: Unity, Loveful Affection, Amusement, Reconciliation, Gratitude, Devotion and Active Intelligence… they will be presented in the form of a ritualistic montage with Sonic Liberations created by Mint Mountain Observatory.
A night of deployment, of reverie, of celebration, of an orchestrated parcour to get you in the mood for enchantment, appreciation, contemplation: Regeneration…
