Opening an animist dialogue with the nonhuman world, Alice Anderson participated in the group exhibition, Spiritual Urgency at the Stedelijk Museum. She exhibited Spiritual Machines Totem 15, (2021), made of technological objects recycled and memorised with eco-thread during performances, and Digital Goddesses paintings (2022).
The exhibition guides you through the stages of a spiritual journey on the basis of four themes. And in these four themes, you will be transported to a different reality. You will meet the ‘Contemporary priests’, interdisciplinary creators who harness the power of creativity to spark mystical experiences and open the door to other worlds. The ‘Healing and Origins’ theme features artists whose work explores the process of healing by probing ancestral lines or confronting intergenerational pain or obstructions. In ‘Liberation and Manifestation’, you will explore the positives of this healing – and even discover that pain can transform into something beautiful. This room is all about embracing diversity, individuality, and personal freedoms. And in the fourth and final theme, ‘Nature and Holism’, various artists introduce us to a holistic mindset – they use their work to expose a spiritual connection with nature. After all, we are all connected as part of a greater, divine creation.
