This show was curated by C U R A T O R, an artist himself. You can read his vision on the exhibition/experience here.
'The best shows are artist runned so i build a show run by artists.
In fact I wanted to research that topic and see what it would be like to do the opposite and come up with a selection of researched artists and let them decide what work they would prefer to show w/o them knowing what works are already selected. The works are than given a certain freedom in the exhibition not only by chance but as a metaphore for life, to show a certain way of acceptence unknowingly by the artists as an archive for the future. Coincidence is a very important topic in this show bc I wanted to research how relevant it is to collect art from its time meaning that qualitative artworks would still exist today on the contrary of what mainstream thinkers today claim out of unawareness and the underestimation of the vastness of what art can mean and its panache it can carry build to reach all poeple. In our community i noticed you've got a v apparent way of percieving art out of a certain pretence almost of division between artist and 'the normal'. It certainly is my approach as C U R A T O R to percieve exhibitions out of a pretentiousless situation but at the same time v reflective towards our time.
In that aspect the goal to see the beautifull vastness of space is hypothisised in this exhibition.
Imagine a conversation taking place in space. It can be anything, it can be anywhere yet we are certain our generation has not partaken in such, physically. Our mental state is yet another issue where the boundaries are not yet set and current scientific statements are beeing debunked one after another. Debunking things is a good thing in science but only with hard proven factual material. Science is subjective but deffinitions arent and debunking deffinitions means evolution and evolving is a good thing. Human behaviour is different. You cant define human beahaviour you can only experience it and talk out of experience. Share thoughts and to exclude any vision is a malfunction of the denying factor within the discussion if its a yes or no situation posed by said factor. Does the person come out of its cocoon and accepts a different oppinion yet states a vision from the self? Then the discussion is on going and even wrong or right can play a factor in accepting eachothers view yet there is no wrong nor right when coming down to discussion. Yet there is oc, and everybody will be wrong or right even during a whole period in time and even that should be respected as such bc there will be nothing more educative than such periods. This exhibition is such conversation.
Every aspect in a open conversation is here and therefore the exhibition should be taken in as a whole conversation as visual creating ppl talking to eachother, oppinionated yet reaching each visitor individualy or in group. It is al equal. And thats the goal of evolution. Not just simply accepting eachother as they are but going into conversation, talking to eachother, communicating in a sense that is experience ridden and therefore valuable. We all think alike yet we experience diffirences. Respect that from eachother.
But this exhibition is far from a preach. life is open, think about it. Take a look at the exhibition. Commentt I will answer u when I can.'
