SCREEN REALITIES
„The screen, perhaps, might be equal to our dreams.“ (Desnos, 1927)
Our world is amass with screens. Screens telling us what to do, screens
that entertain us, screens that observe us, screens that act as portals to
seemingly infinite dimensions, screens that monitor our bodies and our actions,
capturing procedures in a technological wonderland. It is as if the screen has
supplanted the mirror: The mirror is selfish; the screen is for everyone.
Screens themselves embody flattened existence. Depth and perspective exist but
are levelled out, events and objects are composed and framed. The screen is a
convenient universal frame, an image and information container for potential
viewers to regard and mimic.
We take the format of the screen for granted - we accept it as a source
of information or reflection and no longer marvel at the screen as a
technological artefact. The screen as a figure is a commoner, a family member,
a tramp, a monarch, a door-to-door salesman. It embodies and reflects our
emotional states, emitting two-dimensional hints on how to behave. Our own
perceived images are, in the digital age, partly formed and influenced by how
we look 'on screen'. The screen is a place for the secret voyeur, where we can
stare at others without feeling ashamed.
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.
