A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator at SAVVY Contemporary - "Magic is a doorway through which we step into mystery, wildness, and immanence. We live in a world subject to extensive and seemingly, all embracing systems of social and personal control that continually feed us the lie that we are each alone, helpless, and powerless to effect change. Magic is about change. Changing your circumstances so that you strive to live according to a developing sense of personal responsibility; that you can effect change around you if you choose; that we are not helpless cogs in some clockwork universe. All acts of personal/collective liberation are magical acts. Magic leads us into exhilaration and ecstasy; into insight and understanding; into changing ourselves and the world in which we participate. Through magic we may come to explore the possibilities of freedom." — from Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine, British occultist and writer
