This exhibition, “Witches One Times One” presents a wide variety of works by unique female artists from the current art scene and also from art history.
“From one make ten, and two let be, make even three, then rich you’ll be. Skip o’er the four! From five and six, the Witch’s tricks, make seven and eight, ‘tis finished straight; and nine is one, and ten is none, that is the witch’s one-time-one!”
“Witches One Times One” comes from the “Witches’ Theory” discussed in Goethe’s “Faust”. Their “mathematical” system differs from ours, implying their infinite world that transcends rationalism and its limitations. In today’s context, the witches discussed here can be compared to females who hold power to create dynamic influence on the world. The female artists represented in this exhibition have potential to present their unique talent. This exhibition aims to unravel the “witches’” sparks of ideas.
