Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In today’s world where so much is unknown around us and ahead of us, it is hard to decide how to turn the pedals, or even whether to ride your bicycle or just stay home with your kids. Stability, harmony, and balance are all changed because we are moving somewhat differently, almost floating like cosmonauts in space, not knowing what to do next. What we can count on? What has changed? What is a new normal? How do we balance now?
In this collection, Alexandra Rozenman has selected works that explore the notions of balance between fragility and stability, as well as the relationship between the two. In the works by Susan Greer Emmerson, Tatiana Flis and Traci Harmon-Hay, the images of houses and buildings fly, float, transcend or are about to vanish in front of our eyes. But, the works by Kathline Carr and Leslie Zelamsky remind us that balance, being on the ground and having weight above the earth and stability, is more than possible. Sara Fine-Wilson and Steve Sangapore create work that makes us think about the differences between balance and disorder.
