This is a lead up to the exhibition:
"THE END (Of The World As We Know It)"
7th-26th November at the COLLECTIVE and artSPACE durban
This
is it - the end of 2011. A year left to the end of 2012 and the end of
everything....or is it? The current Mayan cycle and calendar end in December
2012; to some this signifies the end, and to others merely the end of one cycle
and the beginning of a new one. What does ‘the end’ mean to you? There are two
clear trends in thought; the end is either a final abandonment, or a
completion. There are many different philosophies and ideas about ‘the end’
from a final void to stepping through to another level of existence.
This is a thought-provoking and exciting project. It is an opportunity to
reflect on what ’the end’ means to you and then produce a work in any medium
inspired by what ‘the end’ signifies for you. The works of the 25 invited
artists will be hung in an exhibition titled “The End (Of The World As We Know
It)" at artSPACE durban. Usually ‘the end’ scenarios are thrust into
the public consciousness in a negative light. This is a chance for artists to
consider and develop their ideas and then consciously present them in public
space. The interpretation of “The End” theme is entirely open - it could be
philosophical, economic, religious, environmental, political and more.
