The Corridor Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its spring exhibition, Mystical Me, on March 29, 2025. Curated from our extensive collection, this exhibition features works by ten distinguished contemporary artists: Lenz Geerk, Victor Boullet, Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Joshua Hagler, Daniel Crews-Chubb, Henry Curchod, Chiharu Shiota, Cecilia De Nisco, Dennis Scholl, and Oleksii Shcherbak. The exhibition showcases works that either reveal the alienation and inner conflicts of individuals during the process of modernization through distorted forms and vivid color contrasts; or transcend the boundaries between reality and illusion through collage, juxtaposition, and recombination, thereby constructing an imaginative surreal space; or engage visitors into the artists' inner worlds, embarking on a profound spiritual journey centered on themes of loss and discovery.The exhibition explores how contemporary artists construct their own worlds through art, offering insights into self-awareness and spiritual development.
In this age of information overload and diverse values, the state of Me has become increasingly common. Individuals may feel adrift in vast amounts of information, struggle with identity anxiety, or navigate the complexities of reality. However, Me is not an endpoint but a starting point for self-exploration and a crucial path to constructing one's personal world. The exhibition space is designed as a metaphorical labyrinth, offering an immersive experience of mystery. The pathways crisscross and intertwine, symbolizing the complexity and uncertainty individuals face while building their own worlds. The artists use various media and perspectives, employing intense emotional expression and distorted forms to address anxiety and loneliness. They leverage dreams, the subconscious, and absurdity to challenge rational constraints and explore the relationship between the self and the world. This exhibition invites viewers to reflect on two key questions: How do we construct our identities in disorientation? How do we transcend disorientation during self-construction?
