///BETTER LIVING
Two Video Installations by Terence Gower
...Galleri Rotor 1

Artists Talk: 3/12 16-18
Terence Gower and Copenhagen-based artist Yvette Brackman will present their practice and have a conversation with the audience and curator Laura Mott. Following, please join us for the opening reception of Better Living.

Opening Reception: 3/12 18-21
This exhibition presents Ciudad Moderna (2004) and Wilderness Utopia (2008), two video installations in which the aesthetics of modernity and the architecture of a city are the central protagonists. New York-based artist Terence Gower's work is derived from his historical research into utopian thinking during the mid-20th Century, which has fueled his inquiry into the aesthetics and ideologies of modernism that took root in the collective imagination during this time.

In addition, during the opening there will be a live screening of a performance by Flora Könemann that will provoke different types of audience interactions!

Keeping and Sharing Secrets – How to Formulate an Ethics of Attitude with Jan Verwoert

This is not a game. This is not just about figuring out a winning formula before someone else does. There’s nothing more stupid than playing smart. But playing plain stupid won’t do either. So you got a secret? Guess what, that doesn’t make you special. For I have a secret, too. We all do. Secrets are not such a new thing. Secrets started long ago. The question is how to share them, how and with whom, with whom how? What if you don’t know me but still feel that I might be someone to share secrets with (as I may strike you as someone who could keep them)? How do you talk to me? How do you address, summon, evoke, invoke, convoke, provoke people like me, like you, like us? How do you want to talk to my, your, our soul? You make art. That’s what you do. Because it’s still one of the best ways to keep and share secrets and address the soul. So artistically, philosophically, emotionally, socially, existentially, politically, ethically, sexually, spiritually the crucial question is: how to develop the mode, manner and style in which you desire to share secrets and address the soul? It’s a question of artistic form, rhetoric and attitude and a question of how we want to be with and towards each other.
