Spirit open – exhibition, Szczecin
Spirit open is an exhibition project of Polish, Czech and Slovak artists who have been collaborating on many art projects for a long time.
Spirit open is an international exhibition in which the Štětín Philharmonic Orchestra, the University of Ostrava, the GDM Contemporary Art Gallery and the Ján Koniarek Gallery in Trnava participate.
The main curator of the project is Tomáš Koudela in collaboration with Tereza Čapandová, Vlado Beskid and Andreas Guskos. The curatorial intention is to present the contemporary art scene, of which traditional expressions, or their multimedia extensions, are a natural part.
Alongside drawing, painting and sculpture, sound installations, video productions, eco-art realisations or hybrid image constructs produced by artificial intelligence will be available for the viewer's experience.
The key content structure is a reflection on the emerging identity of the subject post-industrial focal points, which are the place of work and personal life of the artists involved in the project.
A remarkable accent of the subject creative deployment, its common denominator, is in more than one case the artistic transformation of existential profiles as platforms for reinterpreting ethically heterogeneous meaning or aesthetically homogeneous value concepts of the world.
Spirit open is realized in the world and with the world... If the world is understood, its spirit will also be understood, for from the world we already understand in a preliminary way what Spirit open is...
To put it simply: the essence of this exhibition concept is the exploration of points of contact, as foci of a new language of coexistence in the wide range of artefactual codes that are active on the contemporary visual art scene, as echoes of temporal horizons under whose influence our mutuality can attempt to make sense.
