Strike-Slip Gallery is thrilled to announce our next group exhibition, Salt of the Earth.
The biblical term “salt of the earth” refers to one who is honest, grounded, and essential. In our present time, people fitting this bill seem like a rarity: ours is a funhouse mirror simulation, all gesture but no gist. Art still offers one of the last chances of direct encounter: where materials matter, and form impacts us, grounding experience back into the world of things. We feel the steady, insistent pulse that is older than language. It is not mystical but chemical: a rhythm of extraction, labor, entropy, and rebirth. Our body recognizes it before our mind.
