About
Squaring the Circle is the next Collective
Squaring the Circle is an idea and the title of a new collective undertaking of the art group Page 6.
It is aimed in equal measure at all Page 6 members as a thought provoking concept whilst resolving a joint project.
A symbolic reference is made to Leonardo da Vinci study known as The 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. 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 all Page 6 artists explore the limits of the 'individual versus collective’.
The Project Squaring the Circle consists of 20 canvases measuring 100 x 100 cm.
The linkage between them attempts to establish experimental narratives through multi layered exposition.
The self imposed format of 4 square meters for each artist and subsequent modular choreography of the show harnesses the exhibition into a single vehicle whilst preserving the creative freedom of each participating artists, their outlook on the contemporary world – be it artistic, technological, political or environmental. It is the absence of artistic constraints, which underscores Squaring the Circle and makes this project such an exciting possibility.
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.
