An opportunity has come up for a new big exhibition project, namely, to organise a group show during the FRIEZE weekend
this October, questioning the causes, nature, expression and results of aggression.
The exhibition will take place on Friday the 14th of October 2011 - for which we got access to an exceptional public space
at Central London's Covent Garden. Here is a little bit more background info:
Sparked by the recent London riots and following the general wave of public uprising as "The Arab Spring", we invite artists to interpret
the theme AGGRESSION through actions and objects. By using traditional and contemporary actions and techniques, we invite artists
to question and comment on the way modern society deals with the very primal emotional expression associated equally with hierarchy
and defence in social groups.
Being inherent to human evolution and drive, aggression is a part of humanity that is culturally and socially discouraged, yet influences
so much of the cultural and social systems which defines contemporary life in any age.
The most celebrated and epoch-defining actions of humanity are closely associated with great acts of aggression, yet aggression is
culturally and socially seen as the worst expression of what it means to be human.
This artistic action attempts to unravel some of the current feelings, thoughts and expressions of AGGRESSION.
As we are currently looking for artists' submission, i thought this could perhaps be your thing and of interest for you.
Furthermore, due to the nature and size of the exhibition space available there is plenty of room for extra-ordinary ideas and art forms,
in that sense we also have more possibilities for performance-based or interactive pieces.
Please get in touch for more info - I m looking forward to hearing from you x
