Daily Practice
About
Daily Practice is a non profit art and practice space in Rotterdam West. The back of the space is intended for work. The front is used as exhibition and meditation space. The boundaries between back and front space are not clear and strict.
Daily Practice is interested in the attempt. In processes and questions which have to do with the daily practice of art and of life. Processes dealing with the making of work, questions of living a life. Questions every human being faces, for example regarding family, fear, trust, money, health, competition, friendship. Daily Practice is also interested in technics and insights of meditation. This can take the appearance of sitting on a cushion in silence, but is understood as an active approach to experience life and to deal with impermanence.
Needless to say that it is not required for the exhibiting artists to be interested in meditation. It is just that the aspect of meditation raises questions in how to translate daily life into an art practice and vice versa. And to find out how fluid or how solid the walls are. By showing art I hope to learn more about life, by living I find means to show art.
Daily Practice is interested in what an art space can be. It therefore also wishes to research the notions of hospitality and generosity.
