Andrew Spira
These works attempt to capture something of the temporality of pieces of music. Perpetuating the theme of time passing, the works also resonate with chronological charts - diagrams of historical developments from the origins of civilisation to the present day.
Andrew Spira is an independent art historian, author, lecturer and curator. For many years, he worked at the Temple Gallery (specialists in Byzantine and Russian icons), the Victoria and Albert Museum and Christie's Education, all in London. His work focuses on the interface between practical spirituality/psychology/epistemology and the history of art and culture.

I am interested in a multimedia approach while addressing the connections and the contradictions across disciplines. (By contradictions I mean those things don't quite fit together). It is a means to link the material and immaterial body and address the space in-between—that liminal space of potentiality, discovery, transition and change inhabited by the likes of ghosts, tricksters and witches. It is a subtle attempt to question, push boundaries, poke holes and create interventions.

Minami Kobayashi
Working with egg tempera creates complex colour tones by brushstrokes, allowing me to capture transitory moments and transient people, depicting figures as permeable outlines of their character. The subjects and their environment seem never to reach a stasis. This is an idea from Buddhism, Shogyo-Mujo諸行無常, means “all things must pass”.
My work seeks to invite the audience to experience gazing and rediscover the joy of patiently looking at something. In my paintings, the images reveal more with time. Feminism has increasingly worked itself into my paintings through discourse, and I hope it becomes another subtle revelation to viewers.

Minami Kobayashi (b.1989 Japan) is a Japanese artist. She makes figurative egg tempera and oil paintings which combine intimacy and mystery through their depictions of ordinary people, animals, and places that seem vaguely surreal and ever so slightly off- kilter. She has had solo exhibitions at Goldfinch (Chicago) and Baby Blue Gallery (Chicago) and has exhibited in group shows at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, Setouchi International Triennale 2019 (Japan), Western Exhibitions (Chicago), Dongdaemun Design Plaza (South Korea) Stems gallery(Belgium),and numerous other venues. She participated in a solo residency at Kate's little angel (Los Angeles) Kobayashi's work has been featured in publications such as New City (review, February 2019), Frase Got Talent (Italy). She holds an MFA in Painting and Drawing from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago (2018) and a BFA in Painting from Tokyo University of the Arts (2016).

The Colour of Pomegranates, part 2—the digital space
The Colour of Pomegranates, part 2—the digital space, is the continuation of a discussion that began with an exhibition in 2018, when the artist Genie Poretzky-Lee emailed an image of her pink stained hands to Rosalind Wilson as she was casting a sculpture of an open pomegranate. A connection was made that extended outwards to a shared appreciation of the Soviet director, Sergei Parajanov and his film, The Colour of Pomegranates, a visual poem dedicated to the life of 18th-century Armenian poet and troubadour Sayat-Nova, (1712 –1795).

Eternity has worn a human face,
Contracted to a little human span,
Lo, the immortal has become a man,
A self-imprisoned thing in time and space.
Harindranath Chatopadhyaya
For this project space, I chose to offer a 'portrait' of my friend Michael, who I have known for more than three decades. He rarely communicates, avoiding close contact, though I have become an exception. He likes to talk about art. He told me that His father was an artist, as was He, in His youth, and had met Picasso. Michael recently turned 87, and I thought it would be nice to make a book about Him. So, I began asking Him more probing questions about His life. For example, His father actually was a flamboyant, rather successful, society portrait painter, who drove Michael around, as a child, in Knightsbridge, in a bright yellow, open top Rolls Royce; and His stepmother was a famous actress, and so on.
In His late 20's, Michael may have experienced a 'Spiritual Crisis'. It seems that sometime around that period, Michael began to adopt His current 'life style', to all intents and purposes, that of a 'street person', resting in 'simply being', like an urban saddhu. I began to see Michael in a different light, as being a sort of quasi-sage. For example, when I asked, what does His finger pointing upwards mean, Michael replied "Union with G-d". Asked about His view on "spiritual crisis', He answered, " It's just a game" How does the game go? "Self-study", He replied, just like Ramana Sri Maharashi might have said. What helped to overcome Spiritual Crisis? "Self - remembering". "Self-study is Self-remembering", He said. What is the best practice for following The Way? "Stop the expression of negative emotions". He often quotes Ouspensky, "Stop this turning of thoughts". Similar to Jesus, "Why take Ye thoughts for raiment" and so on.

Rosalind Wilson is a mixed media artist and educator based in London. She is interested in everyday occurrences and how we value them. What is deemed worthy of attention and what is dismissed? What ideas are imposed in public and private space and what is overlooked? As part of her practice she documents her encounters with the collected ephemera she uses in her work. Working with and from collected found matter she explores arbitrary notions of value, where attention is drawn or distracted and the invisible limitations that govern public space. website: rosalindwilson.com instagram: @rosalindfreyaclaire
