Else Journal # 2 - On Contemplation for the Transart Institute (Berlin/NY)

ELSE issue 2 “The present issue implies several gestures of intromision. One of them is to occupy the term “contemplation,” not only in the mystical sense of the word, but with connotations coming from different fields. Contemplation is conscious gazing, the in-between space by which dualities like inside/outside, mind/body get to be dissolved in order to elevate the content of the form and the experience within it. An intromision is being made by me in order to dissect dimensions of the concept just through the recognition of what is there: seven projects based on conscious beholding and emergence of meanings.” –Guest editor Teobaldo Lagos Preller
