'Samhain’ the Second Anima Mundi 'Wheel of the Year' Exhibition Launches

In many traditions, time is considered to be cyclical rather than straight line. Perceived as a perpetual cycle of growth and retreat tied to the Sun’s annual death and rebirth. This cycle is also viewed as a micro and macrocosm of broader life cycles in an immeasurable series of rotations composing the Universe. The days that fall on the landmarks of the yearly cycle traditionally mark the beginnings and middle-points of the four seasons.

'Samhain’ is the second in an ongoing series of international mixed online exhibitions following this rhythm of the seasons, known as ‘the wheel of the year’. This ‘calendar’ provides a cue for the duration of each show, and inevitably flavours the selection of works presented.

The exhibition includes artworks by (in alphabetical order) : Massimo Angei, Simon Averill, Paul Benney, Gabrielle K Brown, Peter Burns, Jim Carter, Mat Chivers, Kate Clark, David Cooper, Judith Nangala Crispin, James Crowther, Claire Curneen, Laurence Edwards, Roy Eastland, Tessa Farmer, Luke Frost, Miles Cleveland Goodwin, Luke Hannam, Rebecca Harper, Youki Hirakawa, Simon Hitchens, Henry Hussey, Sax Impey, Arthur Lanyon, Andrew Litten, Michael McGrath, Antony Micaleff, Jamie Mills, Barbara Neil, Richard Nott, Simone Pellegrini, David Quinn, Jonathan Michael Ray, John Robinson, Tim Shaw, Katie Sims, Julia Soboleva, Lisa Stokes, Roger Thorp, David Kim Whittaker, Evelyn Williams, Joy Wolfenden Brown and Carlos Zapata.
