(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. mehr Infos und Bilder unter http://www.igbildendekunst.at/kunst/ausstellungen-2010/screen-realities.htm <http://www.igbildendekunst.at/kunst/ausstellungen-2010/collaborate.htm> Öffnungszeiten Di bis Fr 13 bis 18 Uhr Galerie IG Bildende Kunst Gumpendorfer Straße 1012, 1060 Wien T +43(1) 524 09 09 [email protected] www.igbildendekunst.at Sorry for crossmailing!
