The knot has been imbued since ancient times and in numerous cultures with high symbolic
value, often complex and ambivalent, even contradictory.
The exhibition and talk will draw on this symbolism: a blockage or impediment, a neuralgic
centre that causes confusion; yet a symbol of union, of connections and ties, and of closure;
also a nexus, a focal point of intersection and interaction and of branching off into new territory.
The artists wish to reflect on the knot as part of their life and creative process. They invite you to
undertake a journey into the liminal territory of the knot: a beginning and an end, a problem and
a solution, protection and imprisonment, concrete and abstract.
