The Baltic Sea Cultural Centre is pleased to present Artist in Wonderland, an exhibition that
explores the reality of dreams, fairy tale and horror in everyday life and entertainment industry and society at large. The situation, in which we will find ourselves, just as Alice on the other side of the mirror seems to be from the beginning impossible. Nevertheless that’s we ourselves, who decide what kind of reality we wish to participate in and what should be the shape of the land from our dreams.
Alice’s adventures will become the starting point for the exhibition’s construction, which will be allocated in the mysterious and abandoned space, opening at the same time another doors of perception of the reality.What is the meaning of the „wonderland” nowadays, when we are encircled by the new media and technologies and are not able anymore to use our imagination, create one’s own world, apart from the contemporary culture remix. But maybe we could? If we tried really hard ...So we have to deal with all the impacts that go after the technological development, sophisticated social and political life and all the impulses of the contemporary visual culture.
