— As the globe sorrowfully shrinks and our differences increase in size, we seek
out a pattern of recognition, more wide-ranging than what our surroundings can
offer. Vast networks of information pulse through deep-sea fiber-optic
connecting us all without hesitation. On this ocean of ideas, we follow the wave that
will carry our bodies and belongings to the end of time. The bubbling erosion that
dissolves our history of truth is what likewise functions as an agent for new
connections to be created. From this damned shipwreck, we throw our anchor
from the railing with a burning hope that something will attach to the depth and
present us with a focus and direction from where we will set sail next. —
Portals is a concept initiated by Salon 75, in Copenhagen Denmark, ranging across
Europe and cross-pollinating several similar platforms. From the summer of 2022
until the summer of 2023, Salon 75 has facilitated collaborations with the artist-run
galleries: Podium (Oslo), Berlinskej Model (Prague), GOMO (Vienna), The Balcony
(Haag), Heit (Berlin). Each venue partakes in presentations across each and others'
respective platforms.
