SYNCHRONICITY

In 2010, deer crossing the art farm is planning on developing a new project, Synchronicity, that will build on the experience and infrastructure developed over the past two years.  This project will involve a formally produced festival that is defined by the collaborations and connections between artists from different disciplines. Along with the two-day festival, the art farm will also be hosting a series of forums, discussions and dialogues for the wider community on the “Synchronicity” theme. A term coined by Carl Jung, Synchronicity refers to the experience of events occurring together in a meaningful way, although causally unrelated. As the mobilizing theme for the art farm’s 2010 season, “Synchronicity” is about opening our eyes to the connections that exist between us all – from the banker to the shop-keeper to the farmer to the planner to the hydro-worker to the builder to the fisherman to the artist. It’s about discovering these connections and working with them to build a healthier happier community. We believe that between the forums, the discussions and the festival itself, the Synchronicity project will provide our regional community with the opportunity to discover and engage with existing partners encountering common challenges and seeking common goals.
