OMNIFARIOUS – von aller Art
Takt Residency Exhibition: Autumn 2015
Curated by Isolde Krams
Artists: Christel Brink Przygodda, Ariel Cotton, Adrian Fish, Rose Jaffe, Michelle Lim, Jiwoo Park, Stephanie Payne, Shah Rizzal, Marina Rolfe, Inigo Sesma
The art of this century has a wide range of views, ideas, materials and social comment. It is much easier to show rather than tell what art is.
“Art after Post-Modernism is culturally vandalistic. That is, it seeks to destroy the high-cultural status quo and replace it with new, more timely, more adequate philosophical and artistic constructs the 20th century." Art after Post-Modernism is culturally vandalistic, furthermore, because its typical method in employing the wide range of cultural references, by which it grapples with the whole of surrounding culture, is to distort or effectively deface its sources as it bends them innovatively to its own creative needs. In addition, the cumulative effect of this new art's tremendous retrieval of cultural resources may sometimes invest its individual works with the character of a collection of loot, as if plundered by a tribe of Vandals, in a raid on past and present culture at many levels…art after Post-Modernism includes some painting which looks fairly traditional in a representative sense, yet which grasps, assimilates, and employs more diverse cultural sources and resources than art has done heretofore, in previous ages."*
Please take the statement into regard when viewing our show.
The show will allow you to interact with some of the artists face to face. See the reasoning and passion behind their work. A variety and unique artist touch is what brings this exhibition to life. From photography to drawing, from painting to comic strip. The exhibition delves into themes of life, memories, history and personal stories.
