The
Sun, the Moon, and the Theory of Opposites
From 4th to 13th February 2006, a grand art exhibition at the M'ARS
Contemporary Art Museum in Moscow
Together with artist of such caliber as:
Baj, Ceccobelli, Tilson, Alinari, Pozzati, Mambor, Ghelli and Fontana
There will also be some of Polimoda's gifted students.
This
exhibition is accompanied by a prestigious catalogue - published
in Italian and Russian - showing all the phases of the project.
The sun is a source of light, warmth and life: its rays represent
the celestial - or spiritual - influences received by the Earth.
The sun is at the centre of the sky just as the heart is at the
centre of the human body. The light emanated from the sun corresponds
to intellectual knowledge: immediate, intuitive and direct learning.
The symbolism of the moon manifests itself in correlation with
the one of the sun: its fundamental characteristics come, on one
hand, from the fact that the moon lacks its own light, and on the
other from the fact that it goes through different phases changing
its shape. That is way the moon represents dependency, the feminine
principle, recurrence and renewal.
The moon portrays also the passing of time through her successive
and regular phases. It is also the symbol of indirect, theoretical,
conceptual and rational knowledge.
The
sun and the moon correspond respectively to the spirit and the soul
and their respective centres: the heart and the brain. They relate
to essence and substance, with form and matter and won't always
be considered in opposition.
