The closing weekend of Responsive Space was a full one- marked by a tarot reading by Neelam Kler and the closing tea party hosted by Stacey Sproule. Another warm thank you to all of the artists and guests involved in the show.

Responsive Space
In the Critique of Judgment, philosopher Immanuel Kant described the vastness of nature as one of the few physical examples that illustrates ideas of the infinite. He believed that the forces of nature were powerful enough to display that which was beyond human reason.
We feel the effects of the sublime in the stories and legends that shape our culture. In fairytales or Romantic writing, the landscape is used like a character to describe the emotion or psychology of the scene. Added to this is the tradition of landscape as artist’s subject- attempts to capture the sublime through art.
