Shady Laguna u Parizu
Izložba Shady Laguna obuhvata akvarele Mari- je Avramović i njene zajedničke digitalne radove sa Semom Tvajdej- lom. Akvarelom se Marija intenziv- nije bavi poslednjih nekoliko godi- na, dok se digitalnom umetnošću bavi od 2017, kada je u saradnji sa Semom osnovala duo Xenoangel . Formalno, oba korpusa radova odlikuje jedinstvena likovnost po kojoj je Marija Avramović prepo- znatljiva – vedre i sveže boje, lakoća i suptilnost, kao i blagi osećaj neza- vršenosti, karakter skice otvorenog kraja. Shady Laguna nam poruču- je da je strah samo vodič za akciju. To nije parališući strah zatečenosti, već mobilišući strah nagona za pre- življavanjem. Budućnost vrsta zavisiće od sposobnosti adaptacije. U akvare- lima i posebno u digitalnim rado- vima, Marija i Sem sugerišu da sa- dašnjost, kao i budućnost, zavisi od mogućnosti ljudi da nauče da koe- gzistiraju, kako međusobno, tako i s drugim vrstama. Za njih je opsta- nak igra – niti optimističnog niti pe- simističnog predviđanja. Igru vodi radoznalost pri iznalaženju novih svetova, u kojima je uslov opstan- ka koegzistencija vrsta, gde se od- vija ispitivanje i pomeranje grani- ca sopstva, pa i moguće pomirenje s krajem civilizacije kakvu znamo. Koristeći se estetikom video-igrica i veštačkom inteligencijom, Marija Avramović i Sem Tvajdejl prave svetove koji se bez prestanka obnavljaju ispred posmatrača

Shady Laguna in Paris
The Shady Laguna exhi- bition encompasses Mari- ja Avramović’s watercol- ours and digital works that she’s created jointly with Sam Twidale. Marija has spent the past few years working more intensively with wa- tercolours, while she’s been dealing with digital art since 2017, when her and Sam founded the duo Xeno- angel. Both bodies of works are for- mally characterised by the unique artistry for which Marija Avram- ović is recognisable: bright and fresh colours, lightness and sub- worlds that constantly regenerate in front of observers. By utilising the aesthetics of video games and artificial intelligence, artists Marija Avramović and Sam Twiddale create
tlety, as well as a mild sense of in- completeness, with the character of an open-ended sketch. Shady Laguna tells us that fear is just a guide to action. This is not a par- alysing fear of being startled, but rather a mobilising fear of the sur- vival instinct. The future of our species will depend on its ability to adapt. Through their watercolours, and particularly their digital works, Marija and Sam suggest that both the present and the future depend on people’s ability to learn to co- exist, both with each other and with other species. Survival is a game to them – neither optimis- tic nor pessimistic. The game is driven by the curiosity to discov- er new worlds; worlds where co- existence among species is a con- dition of survival, where personal boundaries are tested and shifted, even the possible boundary of rec- onciling with the end of civilisa- tion as we know it.
