“The Spectre of the Real - An Exhbition of Social Art”

curated by Russell Honeyman at BMECP Centre, Brighton, UK | https://artofthereal.net/

SEAS – Socially Engaged Art Salon

The Spectre of the Real: social art at SEAS Brighton : 13-21 April 2019

The show will be curated by the artist and writer Russell Honeyman, who said: “The Real is an idea of what lies beneath the ideological construct of our culture – beneath the mask of consumer happiness and humanitarian aspiration. The concept was originated by psychoanalyst Jaques Lacan, and developed by British cultural theorist Mark Fisher.”

Work on show will represent or comment on hidden structures that govern our everyday life (e.g. the production of art under capitalism, austerity, borders and boundaries); or current affairs, (e.g. Brexit, the rise of populism, xenophobia, racism & anti-Semitism, neo-colonialism), or ideas (e.g. the nature of being human). Expect diverse art media (painting, photography, sculpture, installation, new media art, sound art and performing arts).

NOSTALGIA … AGAIN AND AGAIN

During this borderless time we have the possibility to live and experience a constant hybridization among cities, societies, cultures, new technologies and natural science, shaping and regenerating our individualities and cultural memory. Nostalgia… again and again, the inquiry which springs from our human memories and habitualization the process continues throughout life and core concerns are questions of personal identity, where we come from and where we go to and the boundary between oneself and the media world. Both social and non-social done by humans can be subject to becoming a habit.

How does transformed into visual vocabularies? Does related to signs and symbols? Does it have anything to do with anybody’s imagination? How does matter and how it’s reflects cross cultural connection? Do these symbols remains affects the people mundane life? Or it’s remains hidden invisible or it’s habitualized and addicted to boredom of everyday existence?

The current series of my body of art works reveal how traces of all the images that are embedded in self-body can be represented in various cultural milieus. These appearances connect with our past and present memories. The personal and emotional feelings are fused through images drawn from popular culture.
