Walls & Gateways. Group show, Gent, Belgium, 2008
Exhibition with work by Filip Berte, Davide Bertocchi, Liam O' Callaghan, Brody Condon, Sarah Fauget & David Cousinard, Lode Geens, David Maroto, Mihael Milunovic, Julia Oschatz, Nathaniel Rackowe, Arno Roncada and Rafael Vargas-Suarez. Curator: Lara Pan.The starting point for this artistic research is an imaginary confrontation between two literary figures, the Greek poet Constantin Cavafy and US SF Master Frederik Pohl. The Walls and Gateways project proposes to explore some stakes in controversial curatorial practices. It is significant to think about the process of how to break the disciplinary ghettos.... Artists have their own way of thinking and they are not inferior to the way curators, art historians,and philosophers think. They are only responsible for their own work, reconstructing an idea from the beginning, taking different components and plugging them into the next one and seeing what happens in the end... This leads us into an unfinished, changing and evolving process. Walls are more about spatial restraints. Walls are evident in human existence (in the need for shelter, emprisonment, etc.) Gateways can be the spiritual creation and confrontation of time and temporality, an observation of the past, present and future, a response to the resistance of time...
