Overview
The Unpleasant Show 2019, The Veil – The Unpleasant Show , Artists: Ana Adam, Apparatus22, Dona Arnakis, Olga Chernysheva, Constantin...
”The veil is one the oldest and most versatile instrument contributing the evolution of our mode of visual perception. It is important to note that the German word Gewand (garment) is etymologically closely related to Wand (wall). Thus it reminds us of the old origin of the room partition, where the use of rough textiles preceded the most simply constructed wall of bricks as a means to separate the interior life from the exterior life, the sacred from the profane, order from chaos. What was behind the curtain was doubtlessly nothing, but it had the quality of existing symbolically, stimulating fantasy and conjuring make-believe worldviews where one could encounter divinity.


(…)
What is the artistic truth? A dream within a dream. What is an image of reality? A dream within a dream within a dream. Or to put it more technically, a veil within a veil within a veil. Layers of veils of protective fantasies which would allow one to gaze into the abyssal void and practice focussed attention as creative will: decadent yet candid illusions of a horizon where the intertwined subjective perspectives could become a thing, a community.”


Extracts from the introductory text by Carmen Casiuc

She is currently coordinating the program for atelier 35 (Bucharest), an artist space dedicated to support experimental artistic practices and the plurality of cultural discourses and works in parallel as an independent cultural producer. In the past, she collaborated with V&A Design Museum (London), Nicodim Gallery (Bucharest) and Lehmann Maupin (New York).
