Black & White
RED CORRIDOR Gallery, Fulda 20.10.2007 – 19.01.2008
Black and white are opposites and therefore a synonym for contrast – the theme of the exhibition “BLACK & WHITE” from 20 October 2007 to 19 January 2008 at RED CORRIDOR Gallery in Fulda. The opening is on Saturday, 20 October 2007, at 7 pm at RED CORRIDOR Gallery, Löherstraße 19, in Fulda.
They are everywhere, they are omnipresent, and yet they often go unnoticed. Contrasts make life exciting, and because art is the mirror of life, contrast in art is a means of expression. This theme has touched and inspired the artists of the RED CORRIDOR group. Black & White, life and death, love and hate, to be or not to be, woman and man, war and peace, poverty and wealth, yes and no – all contrasts, but what lies in between? In our loud world, do we still hear and see the “in between”? Do we still perceive nuances and physiological contrasts at all?
We only want clear statements and unambiguous messages; polarisation and populism are the order of the day. Yes means yes and no means no. Really? Then we are all either holy or perverse, stupid or clever, beautiful or ugly. And public opinion is the same. Relative is dead, and whoever does not win has lost. The artists of RED CORRIDOR Gallery like to engage with such themes. It is their way of questioning so-called reality.
