Go More Slowly Over The Earth
celebrating midsummer and reconsidering the middle ages
Go More Slowly Over The Earth celebrates midsummer and reconsiders the Middle Ages with opening festivities on the summer solstice. An early, intimate feast of spit-roasted meat and dandelion wine evolves into a public evening of contemporary works and timeless traditions. Featured artworks and design objects include sculpture, furniture, lighting, paintings, jewelry, and explorations in material and alchemy — they employ methods of making, meaning, ornamentation, utility, and protection common during the Middle Ages.
Includes works by Stephanie Barlow, Loran Bohall, Phil Cecil, Rachel Leah Cohn, Angela Eastman, Devon Gray, Max McInnis, Aaron Leif Nicholson, Rebekah Nolan, Cory Robinson, and Sean Starowitz, with Lauren Day, Grace Seibert, Marlowe Harp, Tuning Forks, and Nowhere Chai.
The opening reception coincides with various summer solstice celebrations at COMPANION. Guests are invited to observe and participate in on-site metal casting, candle making, amulet assemblage, and altar building. Items made during opening night can be left for install as part of the exhibition’s document of the celebration. On view through Sunday, July 16th.
