TOP: Jan Kaláb | Black Planes, acrylic on cut-through canvases, 44 x 48 in. “We must escape the alternative of outside and inside: we must be the border.” that we have decided to place ourselves consciously or unconsciously to the limit of inside and outside as Michel Foucault suggested. I have the feeling that what unites us all is the fact that we are all in the “fold”, i.e. That same sensation in that precise moment has driven my desire to curate Transborder, to evoke these emotionally compelled experiences in viewers. I ask you to search your memory for a time that you, as a viewer, experienced a work by an artist you did not know, yet you sensed an inexplicable vibration. However art is also a coming together of objects, materials, and works that evoke an “emotional shock” that drives viewers to evolve ideas, perceptions, life trajectories and constructs of reality. So why did I want to bring these artists together in the same space and time? But also, why Transborder?įirstly, art is for me a pretext for meetings and travel. This exhibition aims to bring together, in a single physical space, artists from five nationalities, while also focusing on the artists’ variations in approaches, practices and techniques. Across borders of both time and space, these artists have created connectivity and conversation through creation. The group exhibition takes a survey of how the language of both abstraction and figurative form can be conveyed throughout vastly different corners of the world. Each artist presents new work for TRANSBORDER, examining the transitory elements of shape, color, form, and context within art making. The exhibition centers around artists who challenge the idea of boundaries within art, both physical and ideological borders. Artists: Cyrcle, Jan Kaláb, Ox, Rero, Andrey Zignnatto, and Aníbal Vallejo.
