Reflections Collaborations are not the easy exercises in the world. If they were then there wouldn't be so many alienated people. But if there were no collaborations then there would even more alienated people. I began this project with hope and optimism and i must say when i saw the exhibition i felt that it exceeded my expectations. It was a stunning combination and brilliant display of individual works. The arrangement was unique to the context and circumstances of our place in the world, and it also illustrated a set of conjectures that would sound too theoretical and almost implausible without the supporting evidence of the exhibition. This makes it worthwhile and gives strength, to start again, and as usual, we hope that we have learnt something and moved on somewhat. Nikos curated Constanze Zikos' works |
