The Eye Sees Not Itself calls forth discourse on spiritualization of the materialistic and rationalistic world. In a hope to rediscover time and space for renewal, transcendence, and being eternal, the exhibition investigates how immateriality, mythology and fantasy fit in our postmodern world.

“Here in America, protest is very passive. We have signs. Whereby in other
countries, people use fire and immolation to protest, they use violence to
protest.” -Lavar Munroe

The Eye Sees Not Itself
Los Angeles • Opening reception: Saturday, May 12, 6–8pm @nicodimgallery
Charles Dickson / Lavar Munroe / Buhlebezwe Siwani / Simphiwe Ndzube / Umar Rashid / Moffat Takadiwa May 12 – June 16, 2018 “Well, actually, I’m a psychic being, and you know, we don’t concern ourselves with being born; we concern ourselves with being eternal; we deal with the spirit.” — Sun Ra
The Eye Sees Not Itself calls forth discourse on spiritualization of the materialistic and rationalistic world. In a hope to rediscover time and space for renewal, transcendence, and being eternal, the exhibition investigates how immateriality, mythology and fantasy fit in our postmodern world.
Artists all have to deal with physical materials, technology, bodies, empirical knowledge, socio-political events, and consumer society. How does the burden of materiality affect the artist’s own mind and psyche? What do artists do to transcend limitations of the material world and neutralize fear that is induced by violence, chaos, injustice and dark forces? In contemporary artistic practice, eclipsed by the Western canons where the intellectual sensibility is pervasively bent to favor rationalization, irony, appropriation, and materialism, is it possible to reserve a space for a greater sense of belonging and for emotional connections to each other and with nature?
The Eye Sees Not Itself arrives from conflicting encounters with the Eurocentric academy, burgeoning metropolitan cultures and spaces, and indigenous histories as forms and concepts, systems and processes, to approach the metaphysical context of artistic practice and production.

Always great to visit as Headlands Center for the Arts alumni. Fun working the entire day with Headlands staff and Jackie Clay, and to catchup in Lavar Munroe’s studio. #headlands

2018 Artist in Residence Spotlight: Lavar Munroe makeswork that functions both as homage and posthumous collaboration between Munroe and his father. Munroe is interested in the idea of fostering a collaboration, without his father knowingly doing so. The inception of this work came about due to prior plans to collaborate with his father two years before his death with the intention of better understanding each other’s professions. Munroe’s father was a water sports instructor specializing in parasailing. Munroe’s work harnesses a broad range of visual references, drawing equally from literature, folk religious practices, folk celebratory practices, mythology, and the history of statues and memorials. Learn more about Munroe's work at headlands.org.
