黑料不打烊

The exhibition is an exhibition on shadows, shadow theatre and silhouettes, based on old and contemporary folk tales and on simple narratives expressed with economy of means. Heart of the exhibition is the shadow theatre from Turkey and Greece, and its character Karag枚z (in Turkey) or Karaghiozis (in Greece). This exhibition will explore the formal analogies and the conceptual references that a new narrative spirit in contemporary art has with shadow plays and, conversely, the influence this traditional art form has had on the world of contemporary art in recent years. This exhibition will bring together key works by 8 contemporary artists from seven different countries, and two master filmmakers from the first half of the XX Century. 鈥淚n praise of shadows鈥� will showcase works and films by the following artists: Haluk Akak莽e (Turkey) Natalie Djurberg (Sweden) William Kentridge (South Africa) Katariina Lillqvist (Finland) Jockum Nordstr枚m (Sweden) Lotte Reiniger (Germany) Christiana Soulou (Greece) Ladislaw Starewicz (Poland) Andrew Vickery (Great Britain) Kara Walker (U.S.A.)
