Resilience

Resilience, exposed in a futuristic exhibition. Will human art withstand the challenge of time? Will our legacy survive nature? Will we be remembered?

The duality of Human art with its memory and its beauty versus the proof of time identified as nature, an immutable force, forever dancing together in a violent and wonderful dance.

In art, resilience is the capacity of the work of art to preserve through aesthetics its particularity distinguishing it from any other object, despite the increasing subjectivization in the production of works. Resilience in art appears as a response to the gradual setting aside of beauty during the twentieth century resulting today in an inability to define the work of art. Psychological resilience is the ability to mentally or emotionally cope with a crisis or to return to pre-crisis status quickly. In simpler terms, it exists in people who develop psychological and behavioral capabilities that allow them to remain calm during crises/chaos and to move on from the incident without long-term negative consequences.
