THE OTHERS 2024
Myymälä2 gallery: Aerial Forms of (r)Evolution
Air is the vehicle of continuous interspecies communication, it carries biological compounds and chemical signals, it moves sounds and scents, it influences meteorology and mood.
Even if it goes almost unnoticed, air is constantly part of our tactile experience that is at the basis of the oxytocin cycle that regulates affections. Far from being incorporeal, but continuously loaded with content, the atmosphere has played a fundamental role in carrying forward biological evolution. From a biological point of view, in fact, air and its pervasive and fluid contamination function as an evolutionary force that instigates mutations and improves vitality, often making organisms more resistant to the environment.
Aerial Forms of (r)Evolution presents a collection of works that include air as a means of proliferation, dispersion and amplification of meanings, as a subtle act of subversion.
While our cultural structures collapse under the weight of their own incoherence, unprecedented opportunities for radical change blow on the weakening candle of top-down structures, and constant perturbations and unexpected winds re-order the structures across the globe.
Special event: during the fair we offer a special event with the projection of the film Prisoner’s Dilemma by Li Zhenhua.
Artists: Nadine Lère, Zhenhua Li, Egle Oddo, Ima Picó, Timo Tuhkanen, Roi Vaara, Oliver Whitehead.
