At the Same Speed
Human life is characterized by constant forward movement: in order to achieve a goal, it is necessary to solve problems, overcome difficulties, manage time, and use resources effectively. This can be considered a fundamental condition for existence. William Hogarth, an 18th-century artist and theorist, noted that movement contains absolute beauty, which is primarily expressed in the surrounding reality and later reflected in art in all its diversity. The human body and inner state are dynamic structures that are constantly changing under the influence of external forces and circumstances. Adaptation here is not a choice, but a necessity, without which development is impossible.
The new project "At the Same Speed" presents the works of 22 artists who have reinterpreted the theme of transformation in various ways. In their works, the motif of movement can be frozen in its image, creating only an imitation of activity, or it can be directly expressed in the constant reinterpretation of the subject, which is repeated over and over again with conditional modifications. Artists approach the theme of transformation both literally – through the body or mental health – and metaphorically – through ideas and artistic techniques that change the reproduced image. But each of them brings their own vision to the endless series of transformations, that very key process in which one can see the beauty of the existing life.
Gallery 11.12 opens the exhibition “At the same speed”, which becomes a form of presentation of the new project – 13/14. This is a format based on the ideas of synthesis and movement, which determine its direction and development.
