Description
It has already been two years and a half since my last piece. The current exhibition stemmed from a journey I had half a year ago. To construct a part of “myself” from this experience is as critical as to create.
Solo traveling is a dynamic trajectory of life. When you are on your own, without your family around or a temporary work contract, what is left? In such a situation, what are you looking for, what is the relationship between you and your journey, you and yourself?
Sometimes, I am more interested in reading the diaries or autobiographies from an artist than his works, an honest confessional account is no less than creation itself. This exhibition honours both. I invited eight artists to show a work about traveling. Some works are inspired by reading, exchanging with others, artist residency or simply a solo journey of drifting around a foreign place. In their works, which aspect is more meaningful? Perhaps it is a question yet to be answered by the audience.
