When Roman poet Horace penned his famous phrase, “Carpe diem
quam minimum credula postero”, he meant it as a call to action,
a declaration that tomorrow is unforeseen and that it is today
which must be celebrated. Two thousand years later, lOAKal
takes the phrase literally with our latest exhibition “Carpe Diem,”
founded on thebelief that if you put a varied group of artists
in one room for a 24 hour period, you create an environment
for transformation.
On December 1st, lOAKal gallery in Oakland invited ten artists,
each of whom were given an 8ft x 8ft panel and a 24 hour
window to come together and create their works in unison,
effectively turning the gallery into an incubator for their
inspiration.Creativity feeds off of creativity and at a certain
density the whole becomes greater than the sum of it’s parts.
Without a tremendous amount of time to deliberate, “Carpe Diem”
becomes an experiment in gesture, expression and energy….
capturing lightning in a bottle.
This exhibit marks the passage of one day as experienced
by 10 artists in the City of Oakland
