Through the concept of “liquid modernity,” Bauman expresses modernity’s transition from a “solid” phase into a “liquid” phase. This period, in which we live, is characterized by the “liquefaction” of all forms of thought, action and association that are solid, with clearly demarcated borders and settled around a center. In parallel with the uncertain and precarious conditions of liquid modernity, social actors’ temporal-spatial experience, interactions in daily life, identity construction, and labor processes have also been transformed. In addition to being a descriptive concept for the contemporary era, the state of “being liquid” refers to the ability of actors to easily switch positions in order to adapt to these conditions in the face of altering circumstances in both the social area and the scene of art. The exhibition brings together artists working in multiple medias ranging from painting, sculpture, installation, video to photography, new media and scent. Coulisse aims to lay ground for a critical dialogue on the new forms of relationalities in the areas where the boundaries of dualistic categories such as human/non-human animal, human/machine, conscious/unconscious, public/private and art/market are intertwined and fluidized.
