Love is the most powerful emotion of the human experience. By experience, love is abundant, but by explanation, love becomes unexplainable, yet, understood.

Romance

Love for a significant other is the most publicly recognized form of Love; an unexplainable emotional connection between two parties. In a cosmic dance of spirits depicted in stereotypical Romeo and Juliet, Rose and Jack fashion, The Two, is the exhibits explanation of what it means to be in love with someone.

Community

The phrase “It Takes A Village” stems from an African proverb rooted in the growth and prosperity of ones community. In this exhibition, communal love is in spired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of society based on justice, equality, and brotherly love in which a love ethic encompasses relationships between friends, comrades, and community for the common good.

Spirit

The “Love Supreme” portion of the exhibit refers to the ultimate embodiment of love in the notion of God, divinity, and the pursuit of wisdom. Giving spectators a unique perspective of heir place amongst others, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s immersive, interactive installation “Pulse Room” (2006) visually reminds spectators of one another’s spiritual existence.

“What Is Left Unspoken, Love“, again, includes nearly 70 works, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, and other mixed-medium displays by more than 35 diverse and multigenerational artists based in Europe, North America, and Asia.

This exhibition is on display at The High Museum of Art Atlanta from March 25th through August 14, 2022.
