Curations

Rebellious Eyes

From atypical figures to trailblazers, how did the artists of the last century transform the meaning and form of viewing? Following the destruction of order by world wars, the human desire to reshape new values manifested in Dadaism's anti-mainstream stance, student movements' anti-authoritarianism, hippies' anti-war sentiments, and the civil rights movement. Diverse social trends nourished artistic thought, and an anti-traditional fervor spread globally. These artists challenged established social norms, extending existing art forms to the very boundaries of perception and vision. This film list draws inspiration from Fluxus artist and "Rainbow Artist" Ay-O.
