REVERSALS | GALERIA AZUR

The contemporary and conceptual richness of visual arts leads to the possibility of using many adjectives, adverbs, or metaphors to evaluate an artistic piece. Aesthetics becomes a research topic in itself.

From a radical time position, a group of artists alter traditional ideas of representation and explore the importance of destabilizing canons’ conventional scenes; while others select an image, a piece of the past that will serve as the basis for future new work. Both locate the “vanishing points” and mark the position of the horizon, manipulating the elements on the scene to begin to reveal an original image that will soon be reconstructed into a new piece.

Reversals refers to a back-and-forth process in the artwork. While we usually might think of developing a painting or image from raw materials and displaying them in an image that has been already created, the processes in Galería Azur Berlin’s new exhibition suggest the opposite: The deconstruction of the image found through forced error, gaming or sabotage, takes the image down in a different and challenging path.
