Essay by Burgering on the occasion of the exhibition 'Cycle Portal Path' at Nest The Hague, (13 Oct 2023 – 7 Jan 2024). The exhibition examined how the traces left by the Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) affect contemporary art 100 years later. Af Klint lived in a time full of developments and scientific turmoil. Scientists studied nature and dealt with phenomena such as atomic fission and X-rays; discoveries that shaped the world and made the invisible visible.Through meditative drawings and video installations, abstract paintings and AI-generated images, the artists reflected on new technologies, spiritual movements, ecology and the connection between then, now and future generations.'Cycle, Portal, Path' was created in conversation with Kunstmuseum Den Haag and KM21, where the exhibitions Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondriaan: Forms of Life and Tai Shani – Our Hieromantic Objects of Love were on view simultaneously.
