LAST DAY - Sunday 5 June, 11am - 4pm
Everyone lives in art. The eyes for recognizing the beauty, specialty and the heart to feel it are different for each person. Every act of life is art and this world is a huge exhibition hall.
What do we look for when we look at artworks? From an aesthetic point of view, is it the visual elements such as colour or composition that we feel drawn to, or are we trying to see from the artist's standpoint? There are many different ways to appreciate art. You can look at colour or composition from an aesthetic point of view, or you can find features from the artist's standpoint.
The way the works are presented to the audience in this exhibition is in connection with everyday life. No matter how profound a work of art might be, its origins come from the most mundane and ordinary lives around us. When the artist's 'everyday life' is not questioned, art without 'everyday life' always appears as an unfamiliar and authoritative object to the audience. Sometimes we can feel alienated from the works of art that we are unable to engage with and they might appear as unfamiliar and even authoritative objects to the audience.
This exhibition attempts to grapple with these issues by celebrating the works that bring to light the simple yet central truth that a broader audience can relate to. It is preoccupied with artworks that reflect on everyday life. Each artwork in this exhibition conveys the artists’ sensibility, their ability to ponder simple things that everyday life is made of. No matter the messages or issues the artists are trying to communicate, they all derive their impulse for making from the context of everyday life.
This exhibition shows the spectators that art is no longer the noble and difficult possession of professional artists and that art is a part of our daily life. The purpose of this exhibition is to blur the boundaries between a routine existence and art so that everyday life becomes art and communicates with the audience through art. Our daily life is not separated from art. Based on this opportunity, it is expected that the audience will be able to approach them without burden through everyday art and further enjoy the expanded cultural arts.
