A Flow of Cause and A/Effect
Location: Ohrenhoch, Berlin
Date: 1–29 May, 2022
Format: Exhibition
The group show parses the divide between emotional affectation and (the) phenomenological effect, in an attempt to reframe art as an experience, rather than a mere static object. This show and its theme seek to open the meta-dialogue of how we as individuals respond, react and consider the aesthetic experience.
The differences between the words “affect” and “effect” are often overlooked and or accidentally mixed up. What determines an insight response to a piece of art? Can a purely emotional/aesthetic interpretation of a work of art be only right/wrong? How can we as artists make art which helps individuals objectify their own life experiences, in a mindful manner? If art doesn’t aid in our own critical thinking or aesthetic enjoyment, what does it do?
