2020 One Minute Video Art by artpro – art initiative
15.06.2020
– 30.06.2020, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The
video exhibition wishes to raise questions on how the lockdown is
being perceived and how has Covid-19 affected life, not only for
humans but for the whole planet. The pandemic has restricted people’s
freedoms and forced strict social distancing rules around the globe
and has highlighted many issues that have long gone ignored. People
and countries in the most precarious positions have been the first to
suffer from these restrictions and ongoing socio-economic
inequalities are at the heart of this issue. Nevertheless, the world
is also in reverse, people are in lockdown, while many animals are
venturing back into the spaces that were once theirs, pollution is at
an all-time low and earth is taking a breath of fresh air.
Within
this moment of limbo for most, we have time to think, to understand
and listen. What we ask is what have you discovered, what have you
lost, missed or understood? Artists are renowned for their ability to
work with what is available around them. With the help of technology,
we are momentarily able to virtually escape this lockdown to venture
into a seemingly borderless world. Art making practices of many
artists have had to evolve in order to fit into this new normal. This
moment will remain as a historical record for our time as we all try
to navigate this without a recent precedent. For this reason, it is
vital to share these new forms of art making you have employed to
remember, learn and understand.
