From the organizer:
As a part of the Green Red & Yellow Open Archive Program, the project “Green Red & Yellow: Recontextualized” serves as both an inspiration and a professional reference for 12-month-long practice and examination into the various elements of the artistic creation process.
“Green, Red, and Yellow: Recontextualized” is a process of advising and supporting the conditions to create an artwork, from developing structure and skills to theory for a group of young visual artists. This includes examining shifts in social context, generational psychology, and changes in attitude and expressive language. The group of artists has collaborated to discuss, critique, and support one another’s practices, defining the boundaries of their language, identifying their individuality, and developing their methods.
For the first half of the year, there was a series of talks, group discussions, workshops on skills, material experiences, and collecting historical, scientific, and artistic information. The following months were focused on research, experimentation, material and equipment selection, and the creation and completion of their artworks.
The proportions and interrelationship of the three colors Green, Red, and Yellow are considered the foundation of visual concepts. Based on this foundation, interactions and adjustments are made through the frequency of dialogue in various contexts. This is demonstrated diversely in the works presented in this open studio, through forms such as performance, video art, painting, and installation.
Personal and societal perceptions are interpreted and restructured into tangible works that can be seen, heard, smelled and touched. This process begins with questions, followed by the dissection of these questions, seeking explanations, and then materializing them into a path that can be experienced more broadly, suggesting associations, sharing circumstances, and fragmented solutions.
