Terra pericolosa

Jun 23, 2012 - Jul 28, 2012
The fourth and last exhibition in a series of four exhibitions curated by Elfriede Dreyer, Terra pericolosa explores the relationship of the self to place, land, soil or territory. The works on this exhibition dealing with the theme of terra pericolosa  engage with perceptions of spaces that are 'empty', a kind of metaphoric 'no-man's land' that potentially harbour danger and pose a threat to those entering the zone. The concept of terra pericolosa could furthermore refer to the uncovering of buried histories, that could reveal new facts and narratives; memories and visions of perilous zones; or land under threat, albeit political or environmental.
