NEW RELIGION / MY BABY IS FLOATING / 2017

X.Perience / In De Ruimte / Gent Belgium

C U R A T O R nime all tegutsev Genti kunstnik ja kuraator Van Der Borght Bjornus küsitleb käesoleva X.perience näitusega ruumi laiemalt. Uurimuse all on interneti ruum, mis ei ole midagi muud kui hunnik juhtmeid ja kasutajaid; ei midagi müstilist vaid pikendatud hõljuv vahemaa, millele meil kollektiivselt kasutusõigus on. Nagu Jonathan Harris ütleb, on internet planetaarne meta-organism, nii nagu kollektiivnäituski. C U R A T O R uurib, kuidas sellist printsiipi kohaldades ühisnäitusele hakkab või ei hakka ta koosmõjuma vaatajaga. Kas meta-organism saab tekkida ka väljaspool seda planetaarset funktsiooni.

X.perience an exhibition in Space

May 26 – June 4

In De Ruimte

Fransevaart 28, 9050 Gent, België

We've been uploading, downloading, sharing and communicating online and it's time for smth new. X.perience deals with this next step. Yes, it's that time of the year and we're super stoked presenting you a selection of internationally acclaimed and young and upcoming artists from all over Europe and beyond. In essence I research new phenomenon in art which relate to social issues or anything for that matter that suffers from stereotypical views nowadays. We try to free the exhibition from its neo-liberal convention by questioning the core function of the exhibition.Is the exhibition an artwork on itself? Is a changing world having an effect on art?... It seems more likely that the art world is not so much made out of exhibitions in a conventional sense seen but tends to transgress toward smth bigger, smth more profound. Therefore the characteristics of an exhibition can be revisited in a way that not only serves the function of portraying artworks but also offers a view as an overall context which in itself plays a role more fitting within todays transcending mindset. Experience a new exhibition that deliberately is dealing with an open idiosyncratic. But on the inside, the origins lay connected toward social tendencies of today. Neo Liberalism and its pseudo competitive ideology are being re-contemplated as we speak by more and more people and therefore the artist as well. People start detaching from mass consumption and start questioning conventions from their immediate/global surrounding. Conventions within society on the one hand but on the other hand within art are being consciously used, reworked and analyzed and serve as base coats for their oeuvre. This exhibition offers a metaphysical view and most artists will be there to talk about their work. Come and see how different internationally acclaimed artists selected, explore new worlds stimulated by a not so impossible utopia driven by technology, ecology, software but more so offering a view on our search to contemplate and capture our future in time and space.
