What kind of record did we leave today? A photo taken looking at a clear sky, One like button pressed on a friend's photo posted on a social media account, A one-sentence reply to a message from a mother who was worried about her meals Today, in the digital age, we are creating countless records. Among the many records created using modern cultural relics, what does the Memory of the World made in the past mean to us today? The media art <Codex Cornucopia>, created by media artist Sammy Lee using various images and illustrations of the Memory of the World, asks you questions about the meaning of the Memory of the World through the artwork. The Memory of the World is embodied on a screen over 13 meters long in digital space. The exhibition <Into the Light : Memory of the World>, held in the exhibition hall on the second floor of the ICDH, will last until June 28.

As an art curator, one of the essential techniques I employ is establishing symmetry within the exhibition. In my current exhibition, "Unveiling the Journey: The Art of Duncan Ebedes," symmetry has been thoughtfully integrated as a curatorial approach. But why is symmetry so impactful? Here are three key benefits that visitors experience when symmetry is used in the display layout of artwork: 1️⃣ Enhanced Visual Harmony: Symmetry creates a balanced environment, allowing visitors to connect more deeply with the art without distraction. The flow of the exhibition feels natural and cohesive. 2️⃣ Improved Navigation: A symmetrical layout guides visitors effortlessly through the space. It creates a rhythm that makes the journey through the exhibition intuitive and enjoyable. 3️⃣ Elevated Emotional Impact: Symmetry can evoke a sense of calm and order, enabling a more profound emotional response to the artwork. This intentional arrangement helps amplify the stories each piece tells. In "Unveiling the Journey," symmetry isn’t just a design choice—it’s a tool to deepen the connection between the art and its audience.

Andre Breton In Front of the Curtain (2) To go back ten years is not only to identify, in the vortex surrounding the exhibition of ten years ago, something that fairly well expresses the spiritual climate of the year 1938, but also to identify the structure of the exhibition that corresponds to a plan, a plan that seeks to bring the tumultuous region that extends to the border between the poetic and the real into very general proximity within our psyche. The exhibition's structure, as such, can be accurately positioned in the context of the true vision of the exhibition - though, again, not the vision of art. The efforts of the exhibition organizers, in fact, tended to create, as much as possible, an environment oriented toward an "art" gallery. I emphasize the fact that they did not consciously follow any other order than the above. I emphasize the fact that they did not consciously follow any other imperative than the above, since, in retrospect, the totality of their attempts ultimately transcended their original intentions. Regarding the criticism of the time, which believed that the holding of the 1938 exhibition could be attributed, as usual, to the need to surprise and compromise the "snobbery" of the public, and which almost universally bemoaned the "gratuitousness," poverty, and bad taste of which we were more than once witnesses, we can say the following We can say the following.

Andre Breton In Front of the Curtain (4) Of course, the above discussion is equally valuable with regard to the factors that led to the decision to hold the International Surrealist Exhibition in New York in 1942. Four years ago, in Paris, Marcel Duchamp had stubbornly refused to accept the opinion of an insurance agent and an appraiser who said that there was inevitably a risk of explosion and fire due to the maximum amount of coke fragments and bags filled with straw, and because he was such a Duchamp, he was now considering his own work as just like many loose objects with contaminants. Since Duchamp was such a man, he was able to suppress the resistance of the exhibitors without much difficulty this time, who had to present their works in a way that they were kept away from the view of the audience by a covering with a small groove of thin string, just like many loose garments that are contaminated with contaminants. The situation in which the viewer cannot approach the work even if he or she tries, and cannot see the entirety of the unbroken form from any direction, is a sufficient foreshadowing of the anxiety we recognize today, if only we consider this point even a little more closely. It goes without saying, therefore, that the 1942 exhibition will follow much the same optics, even if the intentions that govern its staging do not correspond to a more clear-cut foreknowledge than in previous exhibitions. If we try to imagine, for example, what the years 1950-1955 would have been like, it is of course through an intensely frosted glass, which would have turned into total opaqueness at the slightest encounter with a lofty gaze. Rigor paralyzes us here. Who is to say that in order to be able to sit at the table of the royal court, one must first of all have approved the attributes of illusory authority, that is, "reason" without the heart of revision, the pride of taking on all kinds of symbols, in order to leave them in the hands of lowly mortals?

Slow Art Day 2024 takes place tomorrow. How are you taking part this year? Please share how you're getting involved in the comments. Slow Art Day is a global annual event encouraging us to look at and discuss art slowly. This year it takes place on Saturday 13 April. The idea is simple: look at a few works of art for 5-10 minutes each. 🐌 You can do this on your own, with a group of friends or as part of an event at a museum. 🐌 Or participate online in a guided session or opt for a recorded video (see YouTube for lots of slow art inspiration). 🐌 You can choose which artworks to look at or let yourself be guided by what the museum has chosen. 🐌 Some venues select five pieces of art, others focus on just one or two, and others offer yet more options. If you're participating, tell us in the comments 👇 what you plan to do tomorrow! Or maybe you're a host? Share your Slow Art Day event below 👇 Use the comments here to spread the word about Slow Art Day and get involved. I'll also put some handy links for more info in the comments. cc: phyl terry #slowartday2024 #slowart #slowlooking

I am always super happy when people share their works from the #journaldatavizchallenge. ✨ Looking at how people’s works start from the same topics and evolve into personal and unique outputs is always the most satisfying part of the challenge.

Deep Down Arts: A Global Art Exhibition of Persons with Down Syndrome in the Virtual Space Persons with Down syndrome are actively in search for being included as active participants. The global art exhibition Deep Down initiated by Dr Manuel Guerrero and Señor Carlos Garcia Ponce, was first staged in Merida, Yucatan in November 2019. After many months of hard work, and sorting artworks, Manuel and myself contributed to the curation of an exhibition that brought 150 artists with Down syndrome from different contents together. Unfortunately, due to Covid19 it was impossible to display the artworks in a real space on another continent. A virtual exhibition space brought the solution. As the curator, seven meaning spaces or themes were curated. Regardless of geographical location the images portray the artists' desire to express their experiences through visual media. The goals of the online exhibition is to introduce the world to the artists at a personal and cultural level through the suggested themes; and (2) to achieve dialogue about the personal and cultural interchange between artists from different geographical worlds and backgrounds. https://lnkd.in/gRa5dZXY #curationdownsyndromeart #meaningmakingculture

I truly believe that art, especially public art, plays a crucial role in engaging communities and encouraging positive action. During my recent visit to Paris, I checked several exhibitions that reaffirmed this belief. 🌳 From the gigantic participative installation 𝒮𝓎𝓂𝒻𝑜𝓁𝒾𝒶 by Rachel Marks who invited thousands of youth to celebrate the diversity of the world 🎸 To 𝑀é𝓉𝒶𝓁 exhibition powerful display of how music reflect societal issues and always took part in protest movements 💫 To the inclusive sculpture 𝒩𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝐼𝐼𝐼 evoking both diversity and unity of humanity by #JaumePlensa at Espace Monte-Cristo 💬 To Centre Pompidou exploring how comics are a medium to critisize society with humour or a "what if" imaginarium 🎡 To 59 RIVOLI where accessibility to art is at the heart of the concept and you can meet artists in their studio 👩🎨 Where the artist Sandra Cheres making affordable art with positive messages made of upcycled materials 🎈 To 𝒲𝐸 𝒜𝑅𝐸 𝐻𝐸𝑅𝐸 exhibition where street artists took over the Petit Palais - attracting a diverse audience among the historical artworks. These exhibitions comforted my belief that art has always been a tool for all to express their voices. Public art should be more prevalent in our spaces, serving as a 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. As #ShepardFairey claims on Paris' Walls: "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧". Art has the power to awaken a sense of community and responsibility, driving us towards a more engaged and aware society. 🎇 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮? #ArtForChange #PublicArt #PowerofArt #ArtConnection
