Surprise and discovery are the inspiration behind “Meet Us Here” the upcoming group exhibition of international artists at de Chiara Projects: Salon Space Mitte. Everything begins with a meeting point.
Only a meeting point is provided for each group, there is very little information provided about the exhibition, the artists, or the location only once you “meet us here”, does the entire experience unfolds. Visitors will not know where they are going, what they will see, just follow “your” art guide. everyone can be a guide, just gather a group of curious art goers and the mysterious adventure begins. It is about discovery and seeing artworks on your own terms with a group of people.
The exhibition is run by the visitors, you and your colleagues/friends are in charge. The initial guided tours will be led by selected guests of the artists and gallery followed up by word of mouth promotion: tour leaders will invite and bring friends on the next tour. Each tour is unique. open to all, the only requirement is that you create a shared experience and bring others to guide them through the exhibition.
The dialogue starts with the intention to have an unknown artistic encounter, a shared experience, and discussions with others viewing the exhibition. Traditionally we bring preconceived notions to the art context, with the exhibition text, artist images, or being guided by art expert. “Meet Us Here” will not provide explanations or answers, but rather will invite you to see it through your own eyes and create dialogue. Everyone has a unique entry point: themselves.
