When put into social contexts and daily activities, the meaning of “appropriateness” can be extended to “decency”, “reliability” and “righteous”. However, if investigate further the positivity, one will find those are the terms of restriction and limitation. Unwittingly, people cares more about the quantification of life and making standards. However, it seems that Art becomes unreachable under the restriction of some theoretical frameworks; curating an exhibitions and writing its essay becomes too profound to be understood when they must meet some academic arguments. So a question is raised, instead of applying frameworks and arguments, will focus on the experiences as well as emotions make “inappropriateness” “appropriateness”?
This exhibition breaks the usual pattern, which seeks and creates a style of contemporary art without boundaries. The striking and touching illustrations and graffiti turn the walls into canvas, and the room into a street; Van Gogh’s and Rembrandt’s self-portraits are broken and deconstructed; the portraits of Mona Lisa and mediaeval times are transformed and entertained; junks can also be interesting and lovely; the huge balloon of Mickey mouse reminds people that nothing is impossible in the world of art. And yes, art can be more diverse in our era, and parody is nothing inappropriate.
One does not need to know the artist to appreciate the art. Similarly, creation of art will not necessarily go down in history. In this exhibition, there is no boundary that makes art inaccessible, not pretentious. When the rules are broken, “appropriateness” becomes somehow hypocritical. Those participating artists are creators who are also ready to be “created.” The right of creation is for each and everyone coming to the exhibition. |
