As a part of Art Exchange 2016 project Squaring the Circle by art group Page 6 was exhibited in Galeria Bielska BWA in September 2016. The upcoming exhibition in POSK Gallery will be the first presentation of the project in UK.
Squaring the Circle is an idea and a title of a new collective project of the art group Page 6. A symbolic reference is made to Leonardo da Vinci study known asThe
Vitruvian Man, in which the artist attempts to draw the ideal proportions of a
human figure set against the basic geometric shapes of a square and a circle,
whereby he touches on an age old mathematical conundrum of Quadrature of a
Circle.
Members of the Page 6, with a diverse artistic practices and philosophies, join forces in an attempt to exploit the apparent paradox without preconditions. Squaring the Circle project consists of 20 canvases measuring 100 x 100 cm. The one and only unifying factor is the artwork size. It is a necessary common denominator, a linking 'circle' in a joint installation of multiple squares, a show without apparent conventions. In that way allPage 6artists explore the limits of the 'individual versus collective’.
Exhibition Squaring the Circle is dedicated to Tor Pettersen, who collaborated with the group Page 6 from the beginning of it’s existence and through his projects he took part in shaping artistic identity of the group. Poster Squaring the Circle is based on concept sketch that is his last – unfinished – graphic design project.
