NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

"No man is an island" - this is the first line of the famous poem "Meditation XVII" by the English Renaissance metaphysician John Donne (1572-1631). "No man is an island, / Entire of itself. / Each is a piece of the continent, / A part of the main." The humanist appeal to the human sense of community is timeless. Utopia becomes poetry. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. What does the unifying element look like? Can a thematic group exhibition be read like a landscape of hermeneutic islands? Or is it more like a mountain range that promises a ridge walk with a beautiful view?
