PLX Hotell Norrvalla Finissage: [one, two, three… ∞]

A finissage marking the end of infinity… special guests TBA.

[one, two, three… ∞] is a group show with Hilbert’s analogy of the infinite hotel as a point of departure (from the lecture “Über das Unendliche” [𝐴𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒])

It seems that some form of recursive process operates within us, as we attempt to produce meaning of what surrounds us.
Hilbert chose to leave it at the level of analogy, while we attempt to investigate it at a practical level, hoping to come closer to ∞.

𝐻𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑙
1640s, “public official residence; large private residence” from French hôtel "a mansion, palace, large house," from Old French ostel, hostel ”a lodging”. The same word as hospital.

𝐻𝑜𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙
Mid-13c., “shelter for the needy” from Old French hospital, ospital "hostel, shelter, lodging", from hospes (genitive hospitis) "guest; host;" see host.
↓
𝐻𝑜𝑠𝑡
Late 13c. “person who receives guests” especially for pay, from Old French oste, hoste “guest, host, hostess, landlord”
This appears to be from PIE *ghos-pot-, a compound meaning "guest-master", from the roots *ghos-ti- “stranger, guest, host” and *poti- “powerful; lord.”
↓
*𝐺ℎ𝑜𝑠-𝑡𝑖-
Proto-Indo-European root meaning “stranger, guest, host” properly “someone with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality”.
The word ghos-ti- was thus the central expression of the guest-host relationship, a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient Indo-European society.
It might form all or part of: Euxine; guest; hospice; hospitable; hospital; hospitality; hospodar; host.
