Note by Curator about performance
The Alchemist’s Lab, Mixed Media Installation and Performance, Dimple B
Shah, 2019 @thearthouseuk. Dimple’s approach during this residency has
been to connect with nature. It’s interesting to think of nature not only in
the context of ‘the natural’ but also as reflection on human character.
Nature, as the philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote on was where we would
find the beautiful, but Dimple takes us beyond western notions of
romanticism towards more ancient philosophies through the folkloric,
alchemical, spiritual and magical, to a nature where we find ourselves, our
place and potentially, our salvation. In this time of climate concerns, this is
what we need to reconnect with and through her work Dimple shows us
some ways in which we can do that. #alaboratoryforsurvival
