CHRISTINE PALAMIDESSI
Wabi-Sabi
February 9 – March 2, 2019
Atlantic Works Gallery, 80 Border Street, East Boston
Open2-6pm Friday & Saturday, By appointment, and during events.
Christine Palamidessi and Bo Petran are stirring-up some Wabi-Sabi in East Boston. The quintessential Japanese aesthetic–irregular, intimate, unpretentious, earthy, murky, simple–meets the artists own Italian and Czech sensibilities. What results is a flowing visual umami tempered with classical beauty, existential grace and two zen gardens.
For the exhibition, Palamidessi sifts down to five elements: heart, breath, body, voice and children. Her plaster sculptures evoke traditional rocks in a raked Japanese garden; ceramic plates (once dropped by her Samurai husband at the Venice train station) have been lovingly repaired with kintsugi. Petran pulls meaning from the impermanence principle of Wabi-Sabi: “Sometimes, I would like to fly away from all the craziness in the world,” he says. His suspended wax and paper angel, “Siddhartha,” floats like a wind god over the stone-lined pathway of the installation.
The borders have come down at 80 Border Street, and we warmly invite you to come enjoy a parallel universe at the edge of nothingness on the humble waterfront in East Boston.
