State of Mind

The main focus of my project is about dreams intermixed with concepts of simultaneity and reoccurrence.

I’m interested in developing this from a curatorial perspective whereby I will try to orchestrate an exhibition(s) or book that calls upon artists involved with Vision Forum. This will be a great way to meet people, initiate dialogue and explore how these topics take form through an international community network.

Part I: Ideas to explore
Dreams manifest in the mind, in the form of an image and follow a narrative:
-How are they affected by or become reality?
-Why does an experience from the past reoccur in dream form?
-Do these dreams change when they reoccur?

The dream can be a metaphor for an exhibition:
-An exhibition can be repeated in different locations/spaces to mimic the concept of “reoccurrence”
-How does an exhibition change when it reoccurs in different spaces?
-Or, what if 2 exhibitions occur simultaneously in different locations?
-Mode of display = to be discovered…

Contrasts/themes emerging from this project:
Reality/fiction; dream/science; past/present; artist/curator; observer/narrator

Part II: Emerging thoughts about staging the event
Create a call for entries from other participants in VF and try to organize reoccurring and/or simultaneous exhibitions during workshops or other events

Curate a two part book to “capture” the events
-There could be established observers at each event who tell about their experiences to see if the idea of simultaneity produces similar results
-Who is an observer and what is their role?
-Do they affect the work or are they affected by the work?
