"Welcome me, landscape" is the partial display of an ideal collection, reflecting art forms that appear to free themselves from a typically human gravity. Nina Canell, Mark Lewis, Helen Mirra and Gyan Panchal all practice, it seems to us, a form of unselfish art. This is probably why all of what surrounds them, even in its most uncontrollable aspects, can become allies, partners, accomplices even, in the implementation of their work. As they embrace space and time, artists may be in the best position to get precisely what they desire: the perfect moment to capture a snowstorm, a symbolic shedding, the materialization of an unexpected void or the pitch of a travel notebook that would in turn belong to an entomologist, a poet or an hermit.
