Meeting the universe halfway

.."The title of the exhibition, Meeting the Universe Halfway, comes from a book published in 2007 by the physicist Karen Barad. The book title is in turn derived from a poem by Alice Fulton, which is quoted in Barad’s book. The relevant lines of Fulton’s poem “Cascade Experiment” read:

Because truths we don’t expect have a hard time
making themselves felt, as when thirteen species
of whiptail lizards composed entirely of females
stay undiscovered due to bias
against such things existing
we have to meet the universe halfway.

Words move through time, attaching themselves to different events, objects, books, or even an exhibition. Reading the poem, I understand the title of the exhibition as an invitation to walk towards the unknown, to be open to new forms of knowledge and facts not yet comprehended."
