AUTUM GROUP SHOW CONTEST
“What, How and from Whom”
Sometimes, happy everyday life starts to disturb us slightly. What seemed usual,
familiar and even in a way trivial, suddenly takes unexpected shapes; just as
reality denuded of all its deficiencies and secrets. The “Happy the World So
Made?” exhibition is an attempt to register the specific moment when we start to
doubt in what we are surrounded by, and happy reality does not seem to be the
same safe space anymore…
