Samadhi

Chelsea Art Museum, New York

In visual terms, "Samadhi" may allude to a specific image or thought made manifest in material form. Each work in the exhibition is given to a concept of space that engages abstract ideas through the phenomenology of viewing.

The Sanskrit term "Samadhi" is often used in Zen Buddhism to describe the condition of meditation in which the focus of concentration resides in the undivided self. In visual terms, "Samadhi" may allude to a specific image or thought made manifest in material form. Each work in the exhibition is given to a concept of space that engages abstract ideas through the phenomenology of viewing. Rather than the duality of consciousness -the subject-object relationship- normally understood in Western terms, this exhibition proposes another kind of sensibility. In Samadhi the viewer may enter into the space of viewing without rational determinants, thus allowing an intuitive and sensory understanding of the work's structure.

Opening at 556 West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011, USA
Saturday, November 9, 5 tp 7 pm followed by an opening party

The Chelsea Art Museum (CAM) occupies a large newly renovated three-story building at the corner of West 22nd Street and 11th avenue in West Chelsea, adjacent to the Dia Center for the Arts. This 20.000 square-foot open space is conceived as a "Kunsthalle" to bring to New York exceptional medium-sized museum shows from North and South America, Europe and Asia. The permanent collection emphasizes major works by important international artists, including Mimmo Rotella, Pol Bury, Joan Mitchell, Sam Francis, and Henri Michaux. CAM-generated exhibitions will showcase thematic overviews and juxtapositions of historical and contemporary works in traditional and non-traditional media. Completing the program for presenting art in the 21st century will be educational programs, dialogues, film video, new media, and theatrical, musical and other live performances.
