Facades
Habitats are fragile living spaces. In the show Liesbeth van Woerden is curating she wants to focus on places intended for human residence: the urban environment, the immediate physical environment we live in.
鈥淐ities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.鈥� Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities, 1972
Based on Calvino鈥檚 text fragment FACADES is chosen as title for the exhibition at SCOTTY. Facades characterize urban environments. They act as faces of the city.
What do the facades conceal?
Do the facades obscure our view?
Do facades offer us room out of sight?
Can we exist without having a facade?
The three participating artists each explore the concept of 鈥欶acades鈥� from a different perspective. Working methods, materials and techniques also differ, which will result in a layered, versatile exhibition. The purpose of this: artistic visions and statements collide, rub off, reinforce each other, enter into a dialogue.
