In this particular exhibition one particular concept from one of our sources of inspiration serves as a catalyst to join three influential groups of the London scene in 2006: the London Biennale, neo-dogma-non and the Synergy Project.
For the occasion of the London Biennale 2006 neo-dogma-non is curating the show
Human Technology at the Synergy Gallery. Once again the diverse body of artists
comprising the London Biennale convene neo-dogma-non style to make you think.
David Medalla started the London Biennale in 2000 with Adam Nankervis and ever since
it hasn't stopped growing. Its development is truly organic and its style down to
earth. Its informal yet centralised organisation allows it to expand to all corners
of the planet including all art mediums and expressions.
The inspiration for this show comes from an article I read in the New View magazine
about the Strader Machine. This is a devise mentioned in some of Rudolf Steiner's
lectures in the first half of the 20th Century. I found it most fascinating and it
triggered all sorts of questions in my mind.
neo-dogma-non (ndn) is an art movement to raise human awareness for Human Awareness
itself. It is our intention to bring the importance of human existence back to the
forefront of creation. Our ethos draws from Anthropology, Buddhism, Neuroscience,
Psychology and Anthroposophy to mention but a few.
In this particular exhibition one particular concept from one of our sources of
inspiration serves as a catalyst to join three influential groups of the London
scene in 2006: the London Biennale, neo-dogma-non and the Synergy Project. This time
the theme is Human Technology: what is it? Your hands, a pen, a computer or your
intention?
The Synergy Gallery was started by neo-dogma-non in the beginning of the Synergy
Centre. The Centre itself was founded as the social enterprise of the Synergy
Project parties where ndn also initiated the gallery. To choose the Synergy Gallery
to house the Human Technology show and to include it in the London Biennale circuit
was only natural. All three organisations share the gathering of creative minds from
all over the world coming together to manifest emotion and make London the vibrant
place it is.
Here & now: explorations of meaning, past & future possibilities, technological
concepts in the 21st Century. Through a visual feast of painting, photography, mixed
media, installation, video and performing art the artists explore the theme of Human
Technology creating a platform for dialogue to develop between all these different
mediums working under the same guise. The body of artists is truly diverse with
artists from Portugal, UK, Philippines, India, Cyprus, Spain, Canada, Norway,
Canada, Italy, Korea, Australia & Brazil.
