DOES THE UNIVERSE LOVE ME?

FRANSCIS BALKEN


EXHIBITION extends to Oct. 15 (Fri)

 

“Does the Universe Love Me?” nods to our (human’s) insistence on a human-centric way of life. Why are we scared of connection with something that existed long before us and will exist after we are gone? (Are we not important?) Why are we afraid to be in relationship with plants and animals? Maybe it’s the same reason why we are afraid to be in relationship with ‘other’ humans. What a lonely world where only humans exist. If you are friends with plants you will never be lonely. You will no longer be a spectator to their beauty but a witness to their life (and they to yours). The universe loves you, do you love the universe? You are not anonymous to the universe.

In her exhibition with Bungee Project, Franscis creates an environment where life and death are celebrated. 
 

Bungee Project is initiated and organized by Shisi Huang, the 1/3 of 3standardstoppage studio, who takes care of Bungee Space, NYC. As a subsidiary of 3standardstoppage, it is an annual experimental program that creates a self-sustaining ecology system by taking the role to further think, exploring and archiving the path of building variable intellectual constructs from the standard ruler.

Participants List & Programs of Bungee Project 2021 will be updated in a timely manner. Stay tuned!
