"Silver Bullet" Exhibition
Priska C. Juschka Fine Art
This event has ended.
Priska C. Juschka Fine Art presents Silver Bullet, a group exhibition conceived by Dannielle Tegeder, comprised of a group of international artists. The show ranges from historic pieces of art from the 1950's to work created in the present year. The title, while referring to materials that include mirrors, metal, and silver paint, also articulates the metaphor of the "silver bullet" as a straightforward solution. The exhibition tests the myth that one can solve a complex problem with a single shot.
The organizer and artist, Dannielle Tegeder, defines the exhibition as a collective of eight artists linked by their own formal or conceptual handling of silver. An artist may explore the reflective element of silver - creating a philosophical perspective or a context of illusion - or the rigid conceptual idea of silver as a commodity.
At first sight, the works connect in aesthetic and visual tonality, evoking a simultaneously seductive and destructive bent. This is further perpetuated in the legend of the silver bullet being the only effective tool for slaying werewolves, witches, and other fiends, or metaphorically the slaying of the art world.
All together, Silver Bullet reflects on the certainties we project about the art we see, and on the fictions that exhibitions mirror back at us.
The artwork will be available for purchase at a set base amount and will subsequently fluctuate in accordance with daily changes in the value of silver.
