Beautiful Minds

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.
