Event Description

Exhibition at Cheltenham's Gardens Gallery in Gloucestershire UK - 12th-16th May, 2022. 10.00pm-05.00pm each day.

The Mind’s I:

'Bridging Perception and Reality'

For many of us, the ability to visualise is something we take completely for granted. For artists however, the power to harness the ‘mind’s eye’ in the service of artistic expression can make the difference between success and failure, plaudits or derision.

ln ‘The Mind’s l: Bridging perception and reality,’ four artists/musicians tackle this mysterious process through a variety of methods. Their work, which will be exhibited at the Gardens Gallery in Cheltenham between May 12 and 16, 2022, features local artists, Christopher Challen, Nicola Clark, Karina Gabner and Barbara Leidl. Their aim? To address specifically the experience of 'The Mind's l' and how it affects artistic process/practice.

One artist, Leidl, lives with a condition known as aphantasia, which is the inability to create a visual image from memory The other three artists, Challen, Clark and Gabner occupy the other end of the spectrum with hyperphantasia--i.e. characterised by extremely intense mental imagery, ‘as vivid as real seeing’.
