Praise the world - praise its fullness and its longing, its beauty and its grief

Praise stone and fire, lilac and river, and the solitary bird at the window.

Praise the moment when the whole bursts through pain and the moment when the whole bursts forth in joy.

Praise the dying beauty with all your breath, and praising, see the beauty of the world is your own. 

– Kaddish: Beauty of The World

The artists in Praise The Dying Beauty With All Your Breath explore artmaking and the persistence of beauty in the face of collapse of all kinds. Whether cobbling together a Utopia from the midst of rubble, examining loss and rage, or refusing to look away from injustice, each artist contributes a fragile yet incandescent vision of grief and resilience.


There is an inherent tension in looking directly at the most painful parts of our existence and still deciding to make art. It speaks to stubborn, irrational optimism. A willingness to unflinchingly face what is while creating room for what could be.
