Thorny Summer

Sofia From July 30, 2021 to September 1, 2021

Presentation
The “Thorny Summer” exhibition presents four artists based in Berlin – Vikenti Komitski, Jazoo Yang, Francisco Montoya Cazarez and Ties Ten Bosch. Different by origin and authorial pursuits, they are united by the free-thinking of the contemporary Berlin scene, which has become a focal point of their careers and acquaintances.

The idea of ​​the exhibition is a metaphor for an ironic conflict that tears apart the daily life of almost every active person. Our desire to be free and happy is in constant contradiction with all sorts of factors that limit our aspirations. From our simple everyday life to our existential sense of reality, this conflict materializes in thoughts, feelings, decisions, and events that range from the tragic to the ridiculous…

Because our every thought of travel, adventure and enjoyment is instantly commensurate with the time and resources we have. Each of our impulses for immediate expression of emotions and feelings is demandingly weighted out by the social environment. Each of our ideas is in duel with all the ideas known to mankind, and the contribution of each of our achievements can be extinguished, once seen from the tower of our apocalyptic future.

This absurdity is concentrated in ourselves. It pushes us into the poles of meaning and meaninglessness, manifesting itself in a variety of forms. From our desire to get drunk and show the middle finger to the whole world, to the idealistic desire to overcome all the insurmountable things of life. That is why the summer is thorny. It is sunny, but too hot, the sea is great, but care must be taken, one can relax, but only for a socially responsible period of time, the election is over, but the result is the same, life is wonderful, but it is going away.
