Edgar Martins Topologies A stage for the encounter with the everyday, Topologies calls to our attention that all is flow, all boundaries are provisional, all space is permeable. It is the setting for spatial and temporal dislocation. In Topologies, the artist operates within a landscape of uncertainty, within a culture landscape of permanent flux, transition and opposition. Spaces are primed with a sense of purpose yet they are marginal, fragmented and dispersed. In the delicate weight of these landscapes, human perception seems to enter a different register. It is as if everything expresses contingency, as if space and time are about to simmer and disperse. In these images space cannot be essentialised as absolute form, it is fluid, relational, migratory. It demands a more heterogeneous conception. From rural to urban societies, from local to national economies, from international to global system networks, social and intellectual relations of any given spatial entity are intrinsically dependent on the way its people live and interact with their surrounding environment. Topologies assesses how various spaces have been forced to conform to increasingly urban and artistic ideals, adopting the codes and language that it yields. [ more ]
