“Dear Society
You are moving way too fast
Way too fast for me
I’m just tryna catch my breath
Can I get a little peace of mind?
And a little bit of silence to unwind
Relief, do you need a relief, do you need a relief?
Do you need a release, do you wanna be free?
Do you wanna be free, do you wanna be free?
Do you wanna be, can I get a little peace of mind?
Dear society
You are moving way too fast
Way too fast for me
I’m just tryna catch my breath”
Avicii
The group exhibition explores the dread of contemporary stimuli, genuine desires to escape, and the pop-cultural clichΓ© of “the simple life.”
Attempts to withdraw from contemporary society, and its culture of self-realization as an endless project, have masochistic repercussions. Longings for an “escape from society” are instead fed back to us as easily digestible forms of entertainment such as reality TV and arena-pop β the consumption of which can only be considered a relapse, leaving a yearning for more β of both evasion of stimuli, and stimuli itself.
the simple life, the still.)) is at once dissolved and multiplied through the galleryβs concurrent presentations. Through the act of addition, skins peel off towards a feverish dream βsituated somewhere between a collective becoming and complete alienation.
The exhibition can be visited until March 18, 2023. Entry is free.
