Prolightninig is a kind of Diogenes search for man, but also for the work of art that is more and more often hidden and replaced by smarter technologies. The exhibition invites man to get out of the atrophied state of virtual “presence” and seeks for his active participation without which the work can not be detected in a dark environment. With the help of motion sensors the works are illuminated by showing the phrases they contain. The embedded phrases and thoughts give a picture of the current state of the internal relations between the artist-art and the work as well as the external factors; social system and recipients. The
works create an ambience which can be experienced as a rebuttal system of
phrases where certain conclusions can be drawn. They serve as a signpost
through the physical space, awakening inward journeys. This
mutual interaction puts the observer’s state from passive, informed user in and in expectation of new updates (a state imposed by smart
technologies – in this building may or may not) into an introspective and
critical adventure. It also
points to one of the key differences between the economic product and the work
of art. The basic elements of the works are the
word / phrase and the light; two phenomena that are intertwined from the
primordial beginning and through which we know both the physical and the
metaphysical world. Today more than ever, we are surrounded
daily by the various uses of the word offered through light technological
devices. The exhibition sets interrogatives on the
way of communication in a consumer society that constantly has to meet its
marketing goals. Contemplation for about the sources through which man seeks
knowledge about himself and what surrounds him. Indicates the differences in
the changes in the perception of the two phenomena from which the work was
created. The light reveals, the word clarifies. Undoubtedly, different interpretations of words
bring different perceptions and perceptions of things in a new light. The exhibition addresses the questions,
answers and phrases that illuminate the dark labyrinths of modern life spiced
with “latest” trends, patterns, happenings, habits and trends
presented in words and more complex forms on various surfaces. Two Temporary Under the name “Two Temporary” create two authors who have been creating independently for many years. This cooperation is the result of long discussions about art, ie everything that is identified under that term in the past, the present and its possible future phenomena. The cooperation is temporary, like everything else … It is not conditional in time, it is not limited in space, it is physically present, temporarily … Pero Kovancaliev was born in 1982 in Gevgelija, graduated in 2006 and received his master’s degree in 2018 at the Faculty of Fine Arts at UKIM Skopje, R.S.
