THE SQUARE : FIXATING THE VOLATILE
15th July - 2012 - 19:00 pm - Teniente General Perón 2189
Ciudad de Buenos Aires
Photography Exhibition + Paintings Exhibition + Conference.
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
The ancient alchemists spent their lives trying to find a way to fix the volatile; a way to capture the light of the spirit and materialize it. Thus, respecting the freedom of religion, thought and expression, we have called the new artisans of the light to participate in a very similar work.
The Salón Arcano invited 34 amateur and professional photographers to submit works inspired by dreams, allegories, myths, mysticism, the intangibles, spirituality, alchemy, astrology, qabalah, magic or the mystery traditions for this exhibition. An identical exhibition was shown at Occulture 2012: Festival of Spiritual Freedom, which took place in the city of Brighton (U.K.) between 2nd July and 6th July 2012; where the Salón Arcano of Buenos Aires had been invited to participate.

::: by Sebastián Ghelerman :::
Since the birh of mankind, the light has always been an important part of our cultural life. it has had a place in religion, a place in the arts, a place in philosophy and a place in science. Photography is not an exception to this rule, since both light and darkness are the key elements of photography, but is it possilbe to find a spiritual ideas that embraces both the technical and the artistic side of photography? This conference will show how it is possible to comparte photography and alchemy and how their ways of working are very similar and how both of them are similar ways in which mankind has been trying to express itself in a creative way by using Nature and the Universe as a means of expression.
