Exhibitions, Germany, Berlin, 29 May 2010
An Exhibition with Stephen Dunne (UK), Andreas Emenius (S), Bibi Katholm (DK), Shane Bradford (UK), Ida Kvetny (DK), Ralph Dorey (UK), Iben Toft Norgard (DK), John Strutton (UK), Alex Hudson (UK), Wonderland (DK).
This exhibition represents a joining of forces among 12 contemporary artists from Berlin, London and Copenhagen respectively, all traveling down similar creative pathways, investigating the power of ritual, spontaneous bewitchments, visions of the future and a kind of 'supernatural' presence that sometimes reveals itself during the creative process.
The theoretical starting point for IN CASE WE DON'T DIE is an investigation into the constant slippage, or cross-over, between various types of media, evident in the work of the participating artists. One main theme has been the focus all contributions: the creative process. Discovering ways of documenting this process, and how this might give us a glimpse of the art that a race of survivors would produce. Is there a certain kind of (dark) magic we can access during our creative rituals?
These days...
These days potential catastrophes are everywhere you look. The world is full of danger,
threats, stress, overload and insecurity, and most of the time it feels very likely that we
are all going to be dead soon, the only question is when, exactly? Assuming that we,
against all odds, survive the terrifying pitfalls of the future that lies ahead, is creativity
going to be the thing that saves us?
