[Nettime-ro] Vernisaj Valeriu Schiau The Dream @Aiurart Contemporary Art Space |
Valeriu Schiau The Dream / Visul 24 aprilie - 13 mai 2013, Spatiul de arta contemporana Aiurart/ 24th of april - 13th of may, Aiurart Contemporary Art Space Curatoare/ Curator: Olivia Nitis Vernisaj/ Opening: miercuri, 24 aprilie, ora 19.00/ Wednesday, 24th of April, at 19.00h, @Aiurart (Lirei 21) *for English please scroll down Valeriu Schiau nu este un artist confortabil. Valeriu Schiau nu are un vis frumos. Trauma si exorcizarea autoreferentiala fac parte constant din discursul sau artistic. Esecul paternitatii, ruptura familiala, tensiunea celor mai intime relatii interumane, dar si observatia asupra traumei familiale ca fenomen social sunt reluate ca un pattern ritualic in lucrarile acestui artist, nascut in Republica Moldova, activ de mai bine de un deceniu in Bucuresti, Romania. Instalatia The Dream / Visul vine in completarea expozitiilor sale precedente (Nascut in URSS, Copilul invizibil, Lobotomia, Probleme personale) in care apare recurent imaginea copilului nascut sau nenascut facand trecerea de la povestea personala la aspectele traumatice la care sunt supusi copiii pe de o parte in contextul unui regim politic opresiv care a permis crearea lagarelor de concentrare, iar pe de alta intr-o societate foarte actuala care traiste tot mai acut consecintele negative ale globalizarii si care reactioneaza prea putin in favoarea combaterii violentei. Violenta a devenit un soi de act normativ nu doar in randul populatiilor adulte. Mediul jocurilor on-line, lumea virtuala in care se refugiaza copiii si adolescentii, dar mai ales relatiile conflictuale in familie, abuzul emotional si fizic, divortul parintilor, factorii scolari, autoritatea excesiva, corelate cu alte probleme emotionale sunt factori care pot duce la variate tragedii printre care suicidul ocupa un loc important. Mesajul expozitiei lui Valeriu Schiau este deplin asumat. Artistul impartaseste o poveste personala, ”vise” a caror radicalitate emotionala nu poate lasa pe nimeni nepasator si, totodata, atinge un subiect valabil oriunde in lume la aceasta ora legat de inconstienta umanitatii fata de copiii sai expusi unor realitati politice si sociale dure in care arma nu este deloc o jucarie. Olivia Nitis, curatoare * Valeriu Schiau is not a confortable artist. Valeriu Schiau does not have a beautiful dream. Trauma and self-referential exorcism are part of his constant artistic discourse. The failure of parenthood, the family break, the tenssion within most private human relations, but also the observation on family trauma as social phenomenon are revived like a ritualic pattern in the work of this artist born in the Republic of Moldova, active for more than one decade in Bucharest, Romania. The Dream installation comes in addition to his previous exhibitions (Born in USSR, The Invisible Child, Lobotmy, Personal Issues) in which the image of the born or unborn child is recurrent connecting the personal story with the traumatic aspects that children are subjected to on one hand in the context of an oppressive political regime that allowed the creation of concentration camps, and on the other in a very current society that is living more and more accurately the negative consequences of globalization and slightly reacts in favor of fighting against violence. Violence has become some sort of a normative act not only among adults. The on-line game environment, the virtual world in which children and adolescents get refuge, but mostly the conflictual relationships within the family, emotional and physical abuse, parents divorce, school factors, excesive authority, linked with other emotional issues, are factors that can lead to various tragedies among which suicide has an important place. Valeriu Schiau’s exhibition message is fully committed. The artist shares a personal story, "dreams" whose radical emotion can not let anyone indifferent and also approaches a valid topic anywhere in the world at this time related to human irresponsibility for their children exposed to harsh social and political realities in which gun is anything but a toy.
