"the forms of things unknown” – giving them a shape, a name, and a presence in the world. The phrase the forms of things unknown captures creation as making the invisible visible. Like a visual artist working with material, structure, and concept, the poet transforms abstract ideas into tangible reality.
"The poet's eye, in fine frenzy rolling... bodies forth the forms of things unknown.” In the context of this exhibition, this image becomes a metaphor for the creative process. Artistic work is a place where something that did not exist before comes into being. The artists work with material, structure, and concepts it turns thoughts, intuition, and inner tension into concrete objects. Each piece embodies something originally unknown – transforming airy abstraction into physical presence. Thus, they give form to the unknown.
Opening hours:
Wednesday, 4 March: 17.00—20.00
Thursday-Friday, 5-6 March: 11.00—18.00
Saturday, 7 March: 10.30—14.00
Sunday, 8 March: 13.30—15.00
