‘Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach’
Sol LeWitt
It is 40 years since Sol LeWitt published his famous Sentences on Conceptual Art: a sequence of 35 statements that defined personal parameters for the making and understanding of conceptual art. Sentence number one provides the title and inspiration for Ingleby Gallery’s exhibition for the 2011 Edinburgh Art Festival, an exhibition that presents the work of nine artists whose work invites the viewer to make the leap between idea and object.

This exhibition questions the nature of perception… what it means to look, and think, and look again. Mystics or Rationalists? Perhaps, in the end, a little bit of both.

Jupiter Artland
Charles Jencks: Metaphysical Landscapes
13 May – 18 September 2011
Year 3 at Jupiter Artland features a special gallery exhibition by Charles Jencks – Metaphysical Landscapes. The show gives a rare insight into the practice of this international landform artist, philosopher, collaborator and architect. This show will complement the existing Charles Jencks landform Cells of Life which is the gateway into Jupiter Artland and after five years in the making will reach completion this summer.
A long held ambition has been to show studio works often used by the artist as visual prompts or sketches that inform his landform practice. Featuring landform schemes, sculpture and maquettes, the genesis of so many of his huge landforms is revealed. Often quirky, humorous and made from found objects these sculptural sketches engage the viewer and show Jencks’ serious research into the rocks which inspire so much of his work and their natural affective qualities: their striking animal presence, natural metaphors, optical effects and metaphysics.
Jupiter Artland is a unique, award winning sculpture garden, 12 miles outside Edinburgh and houses the private collection of Nicky and Robert Wilson. The permanent site specific work on display in the peaceful woodland and meadows of this Jacobean house is by leading contemporary sculptors including Nathan Coley, Alec Finlay, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Laura Ford, Andy Goldsworthy, Anthony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Jim Lambie, Peter Liversidge, Cornelia Parker, Marc Quinn and Shane Waltener.
