Dreamthinkspeak presents: In the beginning was the end

An installation, performance which involves enormous parts of the museum space, took place in Somerset House. The audiance is guided for a while, then is left in the future. The image in front of our eyes is unusual. There are rooms everywhere, upstairs, downstairs, basement. Everywhere displayed different installations, different people. We can also meet robots which are called petbot. They understand human languages. Some rooms create shocking, claustrophobic experience with well built worlds very similar we sometimes face with in our modern society especially in business fields. The audience becomes part of this society formed by the actors of Dreamthinkspeak. We meet a multinational company with its agressive marketing trying to explain in long stories why people need their services. However when we step inside in their office, we can find frustrated workers sitting in front of their monitors and arguing with their manager. After a while, to resolve the problem a woman gets naked and goes out, leaving her clothes behind. Probably representing that there is life without multinational companies created pressure-surrounded material wellbeing. After it all the other people from the office get naked and walk away in a long corridor between visitors. They go upstairs where the visitors are not allowed to go. However when they look up, they can notice that these all naked, beautiful, young people are around the staircases and smiling back to the viewers. The view is like a renaissance painting. A paradise, heaven, suggesting, that happiness begins with the end of nonsense, robotic work.

The Bigger Splash

This exhibition took part in Tate Modern. The topic is to observe the artist during their creation.
The process of creation became part of the institutional art. The viewer can witness this process by walking around and looking at videos, pictures, installations. But also they can look at each piece as a separate artwork. The museum has the authority to uplift an everyday movement, an everyday object to a level of artwork.

Light Show South bank Centre, Hayward Galleries

A group of artists created installations by playing with light and shadow. Some of them are really surprising. It`s thought provoking to see how the light can create different dimensions, different spaces. Sometimes even the lack of light opens a new space toward infinity. The viewer can experience a real adventure. There are many different, separated spaces for some of the installations. Every step leads to a completely new world. The viewer is involved by participating, enbodying the space. Also they can experience their relation with the installations.

Man Ray

 Duchamp introduced Man Ray to Dada at Cafe Certa, Paris while he was posing as Rrose Selavy.
Tristan Tzara tells about Dada:
"Dada can`t live in New York. All New York is Dada and will not tolerate a rival."
It was a powerful movement which changed the world. Is an energy witch needs more exploration to understand what really is.

Rauschenberg`s piece: Express - oil and silkscreen on canvas

He created this artwork in respons of Duchamp`s rejected piece: Nude descending a staircase.
The pice presents horses, dancers of Cunningham and other pictures where the movement takes the main importance, the movement can be associated with Duchamp`s Node.

The exhibition is unique, creating a multidisciplinary scenario where there are present painting, print, sculpture, installation, music, dance by real live performers. Rauschenberg created Minutiae, an installation for the group of dancers, performers of Cunningham. He explained, that in between the installations the performers were represented as material.  The exhibition highlights Duchamp`s main goal, to blur the boundaries between art and life. However this exhibition blurs the boundaries between the different art fields, between artist and object, artist and his artwork as well.

An installation is much more powerful then the traditional ways of creating art like painting, sculpture. While the traditional methods` outcome can hold an extraordinary aesthetic value, is also frozen in time.The installation happens in the present moment, even if is a minimalist installation.
