FUCK NORMAL, I WANT MAGIC
Group exhibition
December 22, 2022 — January 19, 2023
ArtKvartal, Pushkin 4, Yerevan
We are surrounded by a world we know very little about. If we view our familiar reality as just one form, beyond which lies a completely different realm, it raises a number of intriguing questions: How is real life similar to a fantasy life? How can a building kiss God? Are masks our true alter egos? What is the real function of imagination? Is it possible to live in a world of complete joy? Is the very act of birth a form of magic?
Every day, we encounter things, phenomena, and events without considering that the world is layered — that behind the material reality we know, there may be countless others existing in parallel. We tend to believe that fantasy is separate from the familiar reality, existing only in folk tales, myths, or the imagination of the artist. These are the realms of fiction, non-human entities, magic, and more. But is this really the case?
The works on display in the FUCK NORMAL, I WANT MAGIC exhibition invite you to engage in a dialogue on these questions and challenge you to look beyond the conventional. . They encourage you to cast aside preconceptions, and to act authentically — allowing yourself to exist in two opposing worlds at once. It is in this space between realities that magic begins.
