Yin Yang is the Tao expression of opposites in nature,
such as light/dark,
hot/cold,
negative/positive,
female/male.
The word Yin comes out to mean “shady side”
and Yang “sunny side”.
The symbol for Yin Yang is two teardrop shapes
nestled within each other,
as a white growing crest (male)
folded over a black valley or dark trough of a wave (female).
Contained within each is a part of the other
(white dot on dark female,
and dark dot on light male).
Serpentine Gallery is proud to present "Yang",
an exhibition investigating and celebrating the "masculine" part of the gender duality.
Here, artists are invited to present the light yet impregnable male,
balanced with a little touch of the dark, fecund feminine.
This upcoming exhibition will represent the wholistic masculine in all his MANifestations:
fatherhood, passion, growth, brightness - all that is structured and firm: our inner-strength.
Artists are invited to represent the full potential as male containing female,
or an amalgam of these forces, balanced as sacred energies.
“The Hindus say that without Shakti, the personified feminine life force,
Shiva, who encompasses the masculine ability to act, becomes a corpse.
She is the life energy that animates the male principle,
and the male principle in turn animates action in the world.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Este.
Opening night entertainment:
a spontaneous jam session of clarinet, guitar, percussion
and the wonderful jazz tones of Janelle Buckely.
