Facing Walls Opening Windows
Group exhibition
[新闻稿]

[Press Release]

“Art should be part of everyday life”

Group exhibition with Daniel Buren, Carlos Garaicoa, Kendell Geers, Jorge Macchi, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Nedko Solakov, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Sislej Xhafa.

The present group show combines the idea of walls as open spaces for wide creative minds, with a universal language tool: Art.

Walls rose for communication bringing down fences.

All the places we are used to live in have walls that can be seen and touched. These surfaces are containers but at the same time are themselves content. They absorb and reflect, constantly conveying messages and stories to us. What’s more, walls have always been widely used by the people as a vehicle for political communication.

A building, a factory, a temple, a church, a bridge are all sites that artists can regenerate and reinterpret, creating fresh atmospheres. The poetry and creativity of artists can reinvent an environment, generating new vibes capable of stirring people’s sensibility and awareness of life. In this way, everyone can experience new feelings and sensations simply by passing or entering the reworked spaces.

Artists have always worked in dedicated indoor spaces, as well as in outdoor ones, setting challenges for themselves in re-thinking and welding together intimate and personal spaces with life outside, namely the cities. Furthermore, by using their own poetics and understanding of life, artists can mold and interpret any space, conveying their vision to others and inviting self-reflection and self-analysis. The artist’s work, then, represents a union between the private and public sphere.

Ultimately, Facing walls, Opening windows is the result of passions and energies that have made it possible to embark on a great journey, starting from the desire of both institutional bodies and private citizens to actively engage with and experience public spaces in a new way.
