Exhibition Opening, "Everything I can think of" at Sugar Gallery

Please join us on Friday, October 2, from 6:00 - 8:00 PM for the opening of, "Everything I can think of" presented by Yair Sikorski and Connor Tharp.

What exists between two beings that can be only noticed when they are together? How does this intimate bond change the way we engage the world?

Relationships with alive and non alive beings, expose us to what we are and what we are not. In a dialectical way, we approach and allow ourselves to be surrounded. An endless cycle in which we give and receive, we move closer and apart.

Life does not ask permission to be taken by it. It just happens; and sometimes it is not so strange nor so uncomfortable to surrender to the otherness of another. To let ourselves be changed by what is not us. When this happens something begins to belong to both: a moment, a gesture, a memory, a space that could not have existed otherwise.

Intimacy is a way of observing and creating at the same time. To look close enough that looking becomes a form of touch. To make room for another presence, and to discover that the space between two can itself become a place.

This exhibition was made together by two friends sharing themselves as artist, allowing each gesture to meet another. One mark responding to the next. A color opening the possibility of another. There is conversation here, but also listening. There is agreement, interruption, surprise and play. The painting becomes the record of a relationship, not an object, but a place where it could happen.
