Gallery Exhibition: [In]ter [Side]ra Versor

    Temple University Rome Campus
    [In]ter [Side]ra Versor: Carolyn Angus, Georgina Spengler, Edith Urban

    Temple University Rome is delighted to introduce [In]ter [Side]ra Versor with Rome-based artists Carolyn Angus, TYL '90, Georgina Spengler, and Edith Urban, curated by Anna Maria Panzera and Shara Wasserman. An excerpt from the accompanying text by Anna Maria Panzera follows:

    “We have begun to understand our origin: we are star matter meditating on the stars." So reasoned Carl Sagan in Cosmos, around 1970, not long after Joni Mitchell had sung "We are stardust/ We are golden/ And we've got to get ourselves/ Back to the garden" (Woodstock). If, in those now-remote years, both the scientist's statement and the singer-songwriter's verses might have seemed far-fetched or still a bit rarefied, present-day physics and astrophysics no longer have any doubts that truly the matter of which we are made is composed of the dust of ancient stars and that, above all, our inner universe moves according to common laws that belong to everyone and everything...

    ...Thus, finding myself faced with two painters and a sculptor to be brought together in a common title and project (by the way, they have been friends for many years and have exhibited together on other occasions), each with her own expressive code, I could think of nothing else but the image of planets constantly moving within the same universe, the manifold and varied universe of creativity. Like that of the stars, which live and mutate, the productive and fruitful energy of Carolyn, Edith and Georgina moves in relation/encounter/clash with the surrounding stars, sometimes exploding, sometimes compressing into a seemingly impenetrable density, but only because it is the creator of a different space. Endless worlds and endless challenges for the viewer.
