Words exist because of meaning.
Starting with the attempt to call the phenomenon of dizziness by its proper name, this book brings together diverse voices considering the potential of this in-between state from multiple perspectives and in view of different disciplines.
This is not a pure design approach, since I grant myself the full freedom of artistic development, not knowing where it will lead, but at the same time I have the feeling that it’s also about why I’m on this planet, and that I must give meaning to that. L’art pour l’art is not enough for me, instead I would say: L’art pour le sens.
This workshop will elucidate how dizziness breaks up the given, be it habits, beliefs, preconceptions or patterns, creating space and dynamics between established categories and perceived oppositions. In this sense dizziness provides power and dynamics to restructure, to rethink, to redesign the given.
The blurring of art’s boundaries enables it to cross-pollinate and conquer new territories.
'Utrata równowagi' at Ujazdowski Castle, Centre for Contemporary Art is the follow-up exhibition of 'Dizziness. Navigating the Unknown' at Kunsthaus Graz and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the experience and reflections on dizziness.
