CON_ is pleased to present ‘Fairy Tales,’ an exhibition that will be on display from October 23rd (Wednesday) to November 11th (Sunday), 2024, at CON_ . The exhibition will feature works by 11 artists: Marc Ming Chan, Jaehun Park, Jesse Siegel, Jan Tomza-Osiecki, Vanessa Van Obberghen, Luc Tuymans, Carla Arocha & Stéphane Schraenen, Jungwoo Lee, Alex Salinas, and Yukino Yamanaka.
“Fairy Tales” is an exhibition focusing on the construction and deconstruction of stories, myths and legends regarding identity, history and legacy. This exhibition uses the framework of “fairy tales” to examine and question our human condition. The included works imply an imminent end of something which used to exist, without imposing a solution or an alternative future. They aim to shift your gaze from the often-uncomfortable relationship between people and their environment to a different perspective. This shift enables creating alternative histories and retelling the existing ones in unexpected ways. Thus a new fairy tale begins; the modern-day ones that we need to believe in order to survive.
