Exhibition Twilight Zone by Johannes Luik and LAURi
27.11.2019
Johannes Luik and LAURi will open their co-exhibition Twilight Zone in Hobusepea gallery at 6pm on Wednesday, November 27 th , 2019.
The title of the exhibition refers to a state existing between two values, without being neither of these. The way the status physically manifests itself in space is something that is being endlessly created and re-created through daily activities that relate to the space. Both artists are exhibiting one artwork through which they study the story of a personal space and related associations.
The Fly by LAURi:
/---/ Anyway, it was terribly cold in there that morning. When I had climbed up the stairs the floor boards were blackened. My half-ready room had become a graveyard of flies. Drowsy buzz could be still heard on the windows; the floor was filled with black, shitty, dead flies. I was surprised since I had never seen so many flies before. It was actually quite nasty. Think of it, I have to start living in that room while these annoying things will shit into my mouth. After some time, the sun began to shine in and the room temperature rose considerably. I had an idea that if I cleaned the mess then the temperature should be just right for working. I started to vacuum the dead motherfuckers when suddenly discovering that these were moving. When raising my head I realized that also the buzz had become louder in the room. A race against time began. I desperately sucked the flies into the vacuum cleaner since it was quite complicated to catch those flying around in the room /---/
