We would like to invite friends of Limestone to the opening of our second artist takeover this year, with Sarmad taking over our shop for three weeks.
“Space of Heech” (“Heech” meaning “nothing” in Persian) comes out of Sarmad’s project “Nothingness: Alternative Ways of Imagining Visual Arts”, where they use non-Western modes of thinking to reflect critically on their practice as artists, curators and an art platform.
In Space of Heech, Sarmad turns (part of) Limestone Books into an empty space for contemplation, silence and suspending the analytical consciousness.
In this program, they will also explore where notions of emptiness, stillness and meditative practices meet resisting and transforming social oppression.
The opening will start with “Radio Cafe: Sonic Liberation Front” at 14:00, and continue till the evening with a book presentation “Shaving a Kiwi” by Artist Ying Liu, a member of Sarmad.The presentation will include a Collective Contemplation session (a collective “motional meditation”) guided by the artists. We look forward to seenig you all on this event-packed day! More details on individual events will be posted throughout the coming days, so please stay tuned.
