Under Construction

About

The exhibition "Under Construction" embodies a state of transition, renewal, and continuous evolution. Artists utilize materials from urban construction to express social tensions, environmental concerns, and human interaction with the built environment. Through symbols of progress and development, as well as the potential to create new spaces and structures, their works convey a sense of coldness and alienation. At the same time, they highlight the monotonous aesthetic of urban life and the tension between the natural and the constructed world.

The exhibition "Under Construction" underscores the perpetual process of reshaping the urban environment. The urban landscape is never complete; it remains in a constant state of flux, reflecting social, political, and economic changes. The reconstruction of old buildings and the erection of new infrastructure illustrate humanity’s need for improvement, while often implying a process of displacement.

The sound of drills and the sight of dumpsters and cranes rising on the horizon serve as symbols of a life that never rests. Through the materiality of their works, artists explore issues of identity, social justice, and environmental sensitivity. In a world that is always "under construction," art provides a space for critique and creation, reminding us of the need for balance between development and sustainability.
