CONCEPT
Selfportrait – a show for Bethlehem – show for Peace is a travelling exhibition cured by Agricola de Cologne and Antonio Manfredi in collaboration with the New Media Art Project Network in Cologne - Germany, of the Kahf Gallery Bethlehem_International Center/Palestina, of the MAC_Museo Arte Contemporaneo Santa Fe/Argentina, of the MACRO_Museo Arte Contemporaneo Rosario/Argentina, of the Officyna Art Space Szczecin/Poland and of the Casoria
Contemporary Art Museum/Naples, Italy.
360 artists, 260 multimedia, audio and video works, 100 texts of creative writing and visual poetry with one aim: using a common language of peace. The first day of the exhibition is December 16th, 2006 at the Casoria Contemporary Art Museum, the museum that will receive all the works of the exhibition, thus enriching its already large permanent international collection. All of the works are a metaphor of an universal code which expresses itself by means of contemporary media, such as photography, video and computers. The pictures exhibited here are the self-portraits of the artists, are the affirmation of a life aimed to the abolition of any cultural differences. Strong images and classic poses and a topic where no generalisation is allowed. The daily observation of the current situation in Middle East (or of any other country where war is part of the everyday life) through mass media has led people to be less sensitive to the topic, to be used to it also visually speaking. The images of the exhibition want to put a break to this situation and offer strong emotions. The tortures perpetuated during wars, the symbolic expression of a different culture, the words and sounds of a different language are the subjects of the works of this exhibition. The attitude of these artists is often to refuse or protest against the injustice of a war "sponsored" by a few powerful men. Sometimes it is just the vision of a different routine, related to a new perception of living/surviving. The voice that wants to be listened to, that wants to claim peace through art, is the voice of the artists whose everyday life and expression of their own artistic way is denied. In a "non-place" where there is just war, art still exists and affirms its own identity.
