Diane Martindale shares this report from IMA…
The weather was perfect and the ocean still, as if prepared for us. On October 18, Matthew Gray Palmer with Dan Tucker gave a fitting and promised farewell to the Liminal Currents: Explorations of An Emphathic Umwelt exhibition.
Friends, artists, docents, volunteers and IMA visitors watched as the approximately 1200 written wishes, prayers and hopes were borne out to sea.
Dressed in wet suits and gear, Matthew and Dan pulled the round raft built from the exhibition’s cedar boughs off the shores of South Beach. We watched and they waited as all the papers burned.
It was magical.
All of us there had our own papers burning.
On land, all the rest of the exhibition was burned and we left nothing but ashes.
Well done, Matthew!
I thank all the people who helped the many pieces come together for this wonderful exhibition, from beginning to end.
Enjoy the moment,
Diane
