Imagining Crisis: International Creative Video Exhibition poster Kronika center for contemporary arts in Bytom (Poland) July 11-August 23, 2014 Opening: 19:00. July 11, 2014 Curator: Yunnia Yang (Taiwan) Participating Artists: Albert Merino(Spain) /Shahar Marcus (Israel)/Rossina Bossio(Columbia)/Ernesto Pombo&Chimene Costa (Argentina)/Kimmo Alakunnas(Finland)/Hannes Vartiainen &Pekka Veikkolainen(Finland)/Mihai Grecu(Romania)&Thibault Gleize (France)/Masahiro Tsutani(Japan)/Oliver Pietsch(Germany)/Provmyza (Galina Myznikova/ Sergey Provorov)(Russia) Curatorial Concept: The more civilized the world is, the more complicated the human soul becomes. What the progress of technology and the richness of material life create is not necessary a life full of happiness. Driven by the ‘Death Instinct’, human beings confront all kind of crisis and threats, imaging the death subconsciously. This imagination is an expression of creativity for an artist, as well as a contemporary memento mori. It deconstructs the given aesthetics. This video exhibition departs from the anxieties of the artists about the artistic creation and the art world, our society twisting the essence of an individual very much through all kinds of mass media (including religion), and the nature pouncing on human beings for their long-term destruction. From the concrete perceptible crisis to the invisible, metaphysical, imaginative crisis, these creative artists embody the eccentric aesthetics of imagining the death.
