Synopsis

An artful, irreverent commentary on the Lojong or 59 Slogan teaching of ancient Buddhist sage Atiśa about how to live, how to manage, how to die, how to dream, how to everything and nothing-at-all but be.

“Rather than instructing you, Radiating Outward dreams you into its world.” —Susan Piver, New York Times best selling author of The Four Noble Truths of Love

Radiating Outward, Incrementally is a collaboration between writer Crystal Gandrud and visual artist Nuala Clarke based on the 59 Lojong slogans of Atisha. The work, part art book, part experimental essay, explores the interdependent nature of Buddhadarma and art. It attempts to convey meaning through a deeper lens than simply language commentary, offering the possibility that the best way to understand the ineffable is visually.

A portable installation, Radiating Outward, Incrementally is 208 full-colour uncoated pages with 69 images, sewn binding, and luxurious 3.5” French flaps. At its center is an eight-page fold-out map, printed on transparent stock, where the way can be seen from every side. While a tiny work of art, the book is intended for practice and not to fade on a shelf. Bend, tarnish, and engage with Radiating, and the pages will bend back.
