GOLDEN (C)AGE

an online exhibition 

@ANEMONA CRISAN SHOWROOM VIENNA 

A look at today‘s world throws us more than ever before a sharp picture of polarization, a split into absolute, irreconcilable standpoints.

In the longing for the ONE “right” side, the ONE “right” solution, by controlling it, we hope to finally organize the unmanageable (external) chaos for the better. In doing so, we exhaust ourselves in this ongoing struggle for „the right“ thing, with no prospect of victory or success.

As a result, we become more radical, more fundamentalist. There seems to be no way out of this endless state of push and pull between two poles: security versus freedom, external guidelines versus inner will, assimilation versus resistance, left versus right.

This unsuccessful dynamic ultimately leads us to where the real answers lie: to ourselves, our sould, psyche and our body. The primal places from where we experience and create the world.

We eventually realize that there is a third way that we can only discover within ourselves: our OWN authentic self, which has nothing to do with the outside condition.

The title of this exhibition raises the question, which state of being we choose: The Golden Cage and/or Golden Age?

The choice is ours to make: we can lock ourselves up in a golden cage or we can set ourselves free and create the proverbial Golden Age by overcoming the split within.

"FEARS & HOPES"

For the first time, in the context of an exhibition, I have put together 28 of my works from the last decade (2010-20), which can be read like a premonition of the present day: the dilemma of assimilation versus resistance, freedom versus security. The preoccupation with the work from this decade turned into a meditation on courage and cowardice, on being paralyzed and driven. The relation to current events is obvious: the tension between these extreme positions is both exhausting and fascinating. We struggle to find the right balance in the midst of polarity, and in doing so, we get beyond the limits of our comfort zone. Here a new view of human kind and ourselves opens up, from which something new, unexpected MUST emerge. At this critical moment in time, art can and will be a perspective out of this polarization.

Exhibition duration: 11.03. – 22.04.2021
