The exhibition presents new and recent projects by artists from a wide range of backgrounds. The diversity of artistic approaches reflects the wide geography of artists' origins. The exhibition brings together unique cultural perspectives to engage in discussions on current issues, including local histories, mythologies,and the impact of historical trauma, war, and colonialism. A characteristic feature of contemporary artistic practice is sensitivity to internal connections within families, communities, and solidarity, as well as the process of overcoming loss and liberation. Artists continue to explore questions of identity and identity formation in dialogue with past generations, considering defining landscapes and landscapes of the past.
The exhibition is called "Dream Gardens"💗 The exhibition includes works by Chao Fei, Refik Anadol, Aljoscha, Anatoly Gankevich, Megumi Ohata, Wolfgang Stiller and Anna Mironova. The project focuses on the study of imaginary worlds, views on the coexistence of man with artificial intelligence, expanding the horizons of synthetic biology, virtuality and reality, as well as on the metaphor of the temple of the future that is being laid today and is being created not only by man. People have long turned to gardens - both real and imaginary - in search of refuge from frenzied reality: from the sacred space of the heavenly Garden of Eden - a place of unconditional love, joy, fulfillment of lofty dreams, to the gardens of philosophers. The latter became a model and place of painstaking self-improvement and self-development, a sacred source of peace and enlightenment: these associations are stored in the information field of humanity for centuries. Where will the human imagination lead in search of paradise? What seeds of today will form tomorrow's garden? What will hide from view in the dark shadows of the lush beauty of the dream garden - good or bad?👀
