Creeping Revolution at Rooseum

Creeping Revolution 2 is the continuation of a series of experimental exhibitions and project models explored by Rooseum during the last two years. Creeping Revolution 2 is a group show with artists whose work is primarily visual and who try to influence their surroundings through personal enlightenment and individual experiences, often through mirroring close friends and family rather than society as a whole. In a sense, this can be seen as possibility to contemplate the other side of the socially involved, documentary works that have been exhibited at Rooseum during the past six months. That this should be seen as a return to a more reactionary point of view, however, is a notion that must be dismissed. Rather, it is a way of claiming that social and personal change (even revolution) are equally important objectives for contemporary art. Defining the works in the exhibition as revolutionary is to emphasise the potential for change inherent in art; it is as much about changing the way people think as it is about carrying out actions in the streets. The adjective “creeping” gives a measure of the speed and precision of that effect, at the same time as it introduces the exhibition’s methodology of gradual change. Photo: Camilla Hovgaard
