Life or Something Like It
Gallery Molly Krom announces an exhibition that brings together the works of a diverse group of artists: Silvia Mei from Milan, Claudia Chaseling, Jon Campbell and Rebecca Raue from Berlin, Kathy Osborn from Hudson, NY and Laurian Popa from Romania.
The title of the exhibition is taken from a movie, in which Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie), a successful reporter for a Seattle television station interviews a self-proclaimed prophet Jack (Tony Shalhoub), to find out if he really can predict football scores. Prophet Jack not only predicts the football score, but also that Lanie would die in seven days. As she becomes certain of her death, the heroine attempts to reevaluate her life and comes to the conclusion that she does not know what life is or how to live it.
The exhibition uses these inevitable and persistent questions about finality, loss and lack in life as a platform for discussion and invites the viewer to examine the ongoing affair between the "persistent illusion" that reality is, and 鈥渢he real solid world of images,鈥� or, art. At the core of this exhibition is a conviction brilliantly formulated by Nietzsche: "We have art in order not to die from the truth".
