Lydia Sidarta and Declan Moore
Void
Far from a vacant and despairing notion, the Void, or Śūnyatā, is a celebration of interconnectedness and inter-being. Lydia Sidarta and Declan Moore explore this dichotomy of emptiness/fullness by calling attention to the mindful, intentional nature of focused repetition. Between Moore’s hyper-sensory works and Sidarta’s serial acts of simplicity and negation, the artists invite viewers to experience mental suspension, prompting them to consider the inherency of interdependence in lieu of inherent nature. This exhibition revolves around the act of hollowing out, and a relinquishing of the notion of a separate self.
