'Whether you call someone a hero or a monster is all relative to where the focus of your consciousness may be.’
- Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth.
‘Choose Your Hero’ is a group exhibition curated by Ben Moore at the communal Riverside studio at Re:Centre, Hammersmith.
Twelve London based artists have been given the chance to step out of their traditional modes of working and enter a reflective space to reconnect to themselves, to others and to their creative practice. Re:Centre is not simply a place, it is a vision born of a wish to bring balance back into our lives and our world. By reconnecting to ourselves inspired action naturally arises, making “Choose Your Hero’ a fitting theme to the transformative spirit being nurtured here.
The exhibition is open daily from 9am – 5pm from 4th–17th October and explores the theory of The Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell.
Myths & Legends are a vital and ongoing part of our society... all the greatest stories spanning centuries and crossing cultures follow the narrative of The Hero’s Journey. It is the ultimate narrative archetype, with the external challenges and temptations as we are called to adventure and cross the threshold from the known to the unknown world, mirroring internal revelations and transformations. With Death and destruction, also comes Rebirth and new life.... it is the the great circle that we are all a part of.
If loosing everything doesn't destroy hope completely, then what you find on the other side is a new sense of freedom.
This is the make or break moment for our Hero where he either rises and continues on his journey, or fails and turns back... What happens when we apply this thinking to Society and the World as a whole?
Selected works by each of the twelve artists are on display across billboard space at Regent’s Park from 24 September for four weeks supported by Art Below.
25% of all art sales go towards developing Special Yoga at Re:Centre which aims to support and facilitate the practice of yoga for children and adults with special needs.
