To be interested, to be interesting

„But most interesting is the deep dive into the artist’s long career of politically engaged work, driven early on by his own experience of outsider-ness as a Jewish refugee in Montreal and then in California, and later as an artist who, though well-versed in the language of Abstract Expressionism (he and Jackson Pollock were friends from high school) was never fully at ease giving up subject matter.“

Heading Aspen .. Head in the Sky

In a tantalizing fashion, Roland Barthes revealed in his seductive masterpiece „A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments“ his penchant for hallucinating his deepest desires. This unleashes a creative surge where one not only materializes their longings in reality, but also delves into a sensuous parallel universe. This intoxicating realm, adorned with a kaleidoscope of colors and imbued with the most passionate and heroic fantasies, persists relentlessly, even if it never intersects with the realm of actuality. Never. Ever.

Get ready for a scintillating art experience that transcends the conventional. The exhibition, darling, it’s not just one show—it’s an exhilarating series that bears the very name of Barthes‘ titillating book. Brace yourself for a daring feast where the captivating works of emerging artists intertwine with historical masterpieces in an explosion of creativity.
