SCREEN REALITIES

,,The screen, perhaps, might be equal to our dreams.” (Desnos, 1927)

The exhibition “Screen Realities” looks at the screen as an influential structuring tool within contemporary artistic practice. The aim of this project is not to exhibit work ‘made for screen’ but to review perspectives and ramifications of the screen as an object and phenomena in itself, examining the various states and qualities triggered by its presence. How are the facets and attributes of the screen and screen existence reflected in art and performance? Is it valid as an artist to break through the flat surface, to organise creative output according to the same homogenous structure? This exhibition allows a public to encounter reinterpreted aspects of the screen, focussing in particular on the screen as a trigger for activity, memory or reaction.
