Desire as the engine of our behaviour - this consideration is the departure point
for the group exhibition ‘Wishful Thinking’. Our human aspirations can translate
into various forms like a wish, a need, a dream or desire. Each of those is fuelled
by our capacity to imagine, which in turn seems to be accompanied with a dilemma.
On the one hand it enables us to transcend ourselves and realize the impossible.
On the other hand our imagination is rooted in a feeling of longing or a sensation of lack.
What remains is a wish for ‘something’ to be fulfilled and could easily remain wishful thinking.
The exhibition features an array of works that address the different aspects of the phenomenon desire – whether it is an impossible balancing act, the unwanted pleasure of voyeurism of the need to appoint human qualities to objects. In this way ‘Wishful Thinking’ intends to provide some food for thought.
Het verlangen als motor van ons doen en laten; dat thematiseert de groepstentoonstelling ‘Wishful Thinking’. Wensen, behoeften, dromen of begeerte – het zijn allemaal uitingen van menselijk verlangen. Onze verbeeldingskracht stelt ons enerzijds in staat om onszelf te overtreffen en het onmogelijke mogelijk te maken. Anderzijds zit er diepgeworteld een gevoel van gebrek of gemis. Het voedt een wens naar ‘iets’ en blijft de ijdele hoop koesteren ooit vervuld te gaan worden.
Curator: Alexandra LandreÌ
