ANGELUS NOVUS

AND 'THE UNTIL IT IS ALL CARRIED AWAY IN TURMOIL PEEPSHOW'

One of our forthcoming Artists,Nick Pearson, who will be exhibiting in our Virtual Gallery soon, is currently involved in the, Angelus Novus project. Details on the project and Hyperlink/Email are included on this page for those who wish to know more.

Because those involved with the art-scene don't seem to communicate with each other, Angelus Novus, a project with international allure, invites people to collaborate on exhibitions

Angelus Novus is not a style, or even a number of styles. It's not a theme, be it elitary or not.
It's just a view, an agressive absurdity.

A co-operation between several galleries and cultural institutions was optioned for, thus enabling the project to serve its regional, national and international arena simultaneously.

Every gallery acts as a curator and composes its own show by choosing artists from different galleries or cultural institutions, based on its personal choice. Every branch of art (visual arts, video and performing arts) is included in this network of artists, cultural institutions and galleries.

Each incarnation of Angelus Novus is unique. It can never appear exactly the same twice because it made itself an accusingly distorted reflection of the milieu in which it happens to find itself...Arbitrarianess and chance decide the composition of the exhibition...Turning it into an 'expo trovee'

The concept is to have several shows in different cities within one art season.
Through all of this, Angelus Novus wants to bring about a discourse about art.
It will allow the market-apparatus an opportunity to assign 'value' in an unusual scenario.

In the years to come, Angelus Novus should become an instantly recognizable brand image transcending international boundaries.

THE EXHIBITION ALLOWS A DOUBLE ACCESS FOR THE VISITOR AS IT HAS PROJECTS OF PARTICIPATING ARTISTS ON THE INTERNET;
