CHRIS REPPUCCI, 28 Shapes of the World
Soloway presents 28 Shapes of The World, an exhibition by Chris Reppucci. The exhibition presents drawings from Reppucci’s magical practice and study into the lost and ancient astrological system of the 28 Lunar Mansions. Reppucci writes:
I am no longer sure where process ends and results begin and am unsure what desired results even are. What are we after? Comfortable and functional existences? For me there is always somewhat of an eschatological agenda; how do we figure out how to function in the post mortem state and what might our goals then be? I am not geared toward spiritual Darwinism, I am doubtful that we have evolved as a species since antiquity. I’m trying to explain that what I might create as objects are like ladder rungs set out into the void, where we might egress and where spirits we call can ingress, into this sphere beneath the orbit of the Moon.
