ENDOSYMBIOTIC project was invented by two independent curators- Ewa Surowiec & Paulina Olszewska. The whole idea is based on four different exhibitions which will deal with sensual influence of art works on the recipients/ participants.
The curators choose artists whom they find worth to be presenting on Berlin's scene. From October until December 2010 different artists will be confronted: both debutantes, independent and unconventional as well as those established and well-known. Project becomes a field of artistic and intellectual exchange for authors belonging to different generations, cultures and dealing with the areas of various subjects. The following exhibition will deal with aspects such as: carnality, creation of fear and uncertainty, seduction and intellectual approach which confronts the expressive and the spontaneous one.
The name of the project, ENDOSYMBIOTIC, is related not only to the dependencies existing among presented artists and the curators. It also deals with situation in which it was found. The idea was created completely independently but at the same time it stays in symbiosis with guidelines, history and profile of ZERO gallery.
Project ENDOSYMBIOSIS will also include different meetings and workshops which correspond with the subjects of each exhibition.
There was created a special blog with all current information and photographic documentation.
