Localities

Taking 'My world images' as a starting point, the exhibition will explore personal visions of local places throughout the world. The title Localities refers to the city of Roskilde. It also refers to how artists living in different parts of the globe envision their own world. These worlds are an inter zone holding fantasies and desires, frustration and alienation. They can be tangible or virtual, a space of freedom or restriction. In the current international geopolitical context, the perception of 'my world' and 'my images' resonate in multiple ways depending on who is presenting and who is receiving them. By the use of real or fictional narrations, artists will question the value of the images of the world we daily receive and passively swallow.

Localities will probe physical and mental experiences of artists pushing forward the frontiers of their worlds to deconstruct stereotypes and subvert the notion of belonging to a specific locality/community/culture. These artists will unpack what we take for granted and tackle the issue of territory at large as well as the concept of otherness (me, us, them). Localities is a multi facetted concept interconnecting time and space, cultures and communities, reality and illusion.
