Exhibitions

Could the historical and collective memory be reconstructed through an artwork? Could the designation of alternative interpretations of historical and social facts, occur through an art video, with primarily aim to reveal an overshadowed truth? And under which terms and conditions does an artwork carry the burden of an evidential truth? These are the fundamental questions that the video exhibition “Evidence”, curated by Seoyoung Kim, will raise at DNA – Die Neue Aktionsgalerie in Berlin, from November 27th. The video exhibition Evidence is to understand those images in their own pictorial dignity, which can be described by a reflection from Paul Valéry on the specific abilities of images. He writes, “An image is more than an image and sometimes shows more than the object of which it is an image.” But, most of all, this exhibition aims to bring a range of artistic approaches and rethinking about the stories that have been overshadowed by social histories. These approaches are drawn from works of Jeamin Cha, Mariam Ghani, Clemens Krauss, Dinh Q. Lê, Mariana Vassileva and Jui-Chung YAO.
"The eight videos featuring at DNA’s exhibition, function as evidences and living leftovers of a forgotten past, trying not to prove but to set another interpretation of the history, with a bold transformative narration and presentation". http://notofu.com/home/2015/11/06/evidence-at-dna-berlin/
