As a part of RC Thierry Geoffroy is the
creator and organizer of Critical Run in Trondheim 8 May
The title REALITY CHECK refers to the act
of identifying whether one’s ideas and visions are rooted in reality.
Reality Check wishes to bring attention to
art and artists concerned with social and political issues, art and activism.The
title may here also be interpreted as art examining reality. REALITY CHECK
involves artists working with projects examining reality, our everyday
life, the lives we lead,
the society and world we live it in,
whether these projects are in the form of dialogues with the general
public, interventions, documentaries or protests.
The project wishes to put an increased
focus on art as a social activity, where the gallery functions as a
social arena where the different artists meet and ideas are exchanged with
the audience. Therefore various activities such as talks,
workshops and special screenings, will take place during the project
period.
For updated information about the special
events please see www.samtidskunst.no
There will be interventions in the urban
space of Trondheim, as well as video works, photo-based works, texts, objects
and installations.
