Description
The theme of the exhibition is the broadly understood notion of “space.” Space: between people, memory, history, emotions, cultural codes. It is not about space enclosed by walls and floors, or defined in metres. It is about space with a recognized identity. Recognized by history, by the people in it, and by the way these people fill the space. The true image of a place is shaped by the sum of all those factors. Sometimes, the authenticity of a space is revealed only after it is deprived of its outer layers, its artificial epidermis, its coincidentality.
In our view, in its essence the white cube – which is, in principle, a neutral exhibition space – not only conditions works of art but also dominates them, turning the content into the content itself instead of presenting the content within a context. It vacuum-packs the artwork, and blocks the natural, spontaneous reactions of recipients.
