Over and Over the Rainbow

Every power structure needs a façade: a cover for strife and contradiction, a story that provides firm and straightforward answers to complicated questions. We long for simple solutions, but these are often based in sweeping, false generalizations. Shiny and alluring, the façade of power structures blind us when control of our lives is seized and overtaken.

"Over & Over the Rainbow” is an exhibition that examines the crude seams connecting this false façade, a thin veneer of nothing, to its true contents. It exists in the gap separating what is promised, marketed, and consumed, from a trauma-ridden reality. This is the arena of action for the exhibition artists: the chasm between what is and what could be, between promises and broken promises, between longing and disappointment. Tackling this challenge, there were artists who chose to delineate the boundaries of this arena, revealing its scarred underbelly, while others transformed it into their private playground, constructing new and replicated identities from scraps of damaged tissue and thus unfolding new, incredibly intimate anti-tales. They trace the gap between personal identity and those identities dictated from on high by hegemonic systems.
