My Sweet Doppelgänger
Exhibition dates: August 7th – September 3rd.
About the Exhibition:
In literature, the Doppelgänger is generally seen as dark and brooding, perhaps even an evil twin. Historically, however, visual artists have often taken creative liberties with various themes and concepts, upending them in order broaden the narrative and open the viewers’ eyes to new ideas and other worlds.
For the upcoming exhibition, My Sweet Doppelgänger, we offer a kind of reversal of what “Doppelgänger” means, introducing a “body double” for each artist, with a more benevolent and often friendlier face. In a loose adaptation of Jungian terms, this could be seen as an embrace of the shadow-self.
My Sweet Doppelgänger gathers a diverse, international mix of twenty-four artists who each bring their own unique take, in various mediums, as to what the concept of “Doppelgänger” (whether “sweet” or otherwise) inspired in them for this exhibition. We hope to see you (or your “sweet Doppelgänger”) soon!
