Kozmikomiks
9 Czerwiec - 15 Lipiec 2017, Start and end dates
Kozmikomiks presents ideas, stories and new myths. Contemporary artists reveal threads in the unfinished process of research or eclectically create them themselves with the help of philosophy of science, anthropology, as well as para and pseudo-scientific theories and popular literature. Conceptual art and contemporary poetry discover new possibilities on how to use information from science and technology as material for divergent poetic and philosophical deliberations. They also reflect the thinking of contemporary people who find themselves in a post-factual and post-internet world.
The common platform is the theme of Cosmos as the organized totality of existence which is the opposite and antithesis to Chaos. This exhibition offers an interpretation of the relationship of artists to exact natural sciences and technological development with an emphasis on working with material, because its subjectivity counterbalances and at the same time questions the objectivity of scientific research. Cosmos as a combination of visual art and science is a construct of the intellect, but at the same time it provides abundant possibilities for individual spiritual experiences.
