The symbol in the logo of Rēs Ratio Network is the graphic representation of the polyhedral mass of a stone, a detail taken out of Albrecht Dürer’s etching Melancholia I (1514). In this etching, the dark bile (Greek: µέλαινα χολή, melaina chole) is presented as the moving force of all reflections and inspiration that leads to the creation of the work of art. By choosing this symbol, the Rēs Ratio Network team wishes to allude to the quintessence of their work itself: the excavated stone of Melancholia I, though basically formed and carefully carved, awaits the definite, creative move that will bring the work of art to life.

The Thing: Rēs, the Reason/Word: Ratio and the Network are three words – bearers of many different notions, which showcase –on the one hand- the dipole of the artistic procedure and –on the other hand- the willingness to weave a web that aims to constantly expand through artistic proposals and collaborations.
