[palindrome] n. a word, phrase or sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards (e.g. rotator, nurses run). Early 17th century [from Greek palindromos ‘running back again’], from palin ‘again’ + drom- (from dramein ‘to run’). palindromic adj. All palindromes are bound by some conditions that imposes a pattern. In this exhibition the artists glance upon different angles on the theme of what can be read as a palindrome – going forward and backwards, loping in circles, like different metaphors, as concepts and visualizations in order to open up for possibility of mirroring and reflection. The artists exhibiting explore and search for unknown patterns between their different artistic practices and their created works of art on display in the gallery space, were they also invite the visitors and viewers to participate in this exploration.
