Las 20 exposiciones que integran el proyecto ROCK MY RELIGION del festival EXPLORAFOTO intentan trazar una genealogía de las relaciones entre Arte y Rock and Roll desde la década de los 50 hasta el presente, poniendo especial énfasis en aquellos momentos en los cuales ambas disciciplinas jugaron un papel importante a nivel político y sociocultural.

The Temptation to Exist
Douglas Gordon, On Kawara, Terence Koh and Andy Warhol
November 22, 2008 – January 24, 2009

The exhibition will run from November 22nd and will feature a new performance by Terence Koh ASIANPUNKBOY W O R L D the opening reception on Friday November 21st.
The exhibition takes its title from E. M. Cioranʼs book The Temptation to Exist in which the author deliberates the ʻinconvenience of existenceʼ. According to Cioran, death itself becomes a symbol of relief from our relentless temptation to exist in a world of transient objects. At the entrance of the lower gallery a 17th century still-life depicting a skull and bones, a motif used by Old Master artists as a reminder of mortality, will be displayed as the central piece of the show. This theme of mortality is addressed by each artist in the exhibition.

The works reference Minimalism and formally delineate themselves with it. They are characterized by two- or three-dimensional shapes such as circle, square, sphere, or cube. However, the focus of these works lies not on geometrical abstraction or pure aesthetics. On the contrary, ecological, social, economic, and ethical statements are their conceptual framework. The works’ titles, materials, or context of production refer to larger narratives.
