《愚者之旅》画展 丹麦哥本哈根 v1 Gallery

（所有图片均来自于v1 Gallery官网）

官方推介：

塔罗牌中没有任何力量，有的只是塔罗牌占卜师的解读和传达。任何牌都没有教条意义，也没有绝对的权威。有的只是我们对神话和象征的了解。你可以通过研究古典希腊和罗马神话、物理学、各种形式的神秘主义甚至心理学来思考和解读塔罗牌，并将其与自己的生活经历结合起来。

《愚者之旅》聚集了22位从事不同媒介创作的国际知名艺术家，每一位都被邀请演绎创作一张大阿卡纳塔罗牌。大阿卡纳以愚者开始，愚者是纯真、无知和潜力的象征。接下来的21张牌代表了他学习、成长和人生的经历，描绘了一生中可能发生的主要阶段和状态，通常被称为“愚者之旅”。

展览中的艺术家共同组成了一个充满活力、相互关联的网络，一场跨越媒体、年龄、国籍和性别的当代集会。22件艺术品中的每一件也将附有经典塔罗牌书籍形式的目录，引导观众欣赏。

塔罗牌是一种我们所有人都可以使用的神秘工具，如果我们花时间观察，它也是一种普遍可以理解的语言。我们在网上以及艺术、时尚、设计、街道标志和表情符号中都充斥着图像和符号，用象征语言进行交流已经成为我们的第二天性。塔罗牌的象征语言代代相传，任何寻求内省和寻找意义的人都可以理解。

随着最近社会和全球不确定性的升级，塔罗牌的受欢迎程度激增。塔罗牌有能力在前所未有的事件中提供指导和安慰，这与那些寻求安慰和方向的人产生共鸣。它有助于自我审视，培养创造力，并帮助人们了解内心的欲望和恐惧。

虽然塔罗牌作为一种媒介曾经被边缘化，但历史上的艺术家们都采用塔罗牌来推动文化话语和拓宽视野。伊瑟尔·科尔库霍恩 (Ithell Colquhoun)、利奥诺拉·卡林顿 (Leonora Carrington) 和雷梅迪奥斯·瓦罗 (Remedios Varo) 等将塔罗牌作为灵感来源之一的女性艺术家现在因其对艺术史的贡献而受到认可。本次展览探讨了塔罗牌在当代生活和艺术世界中的复兴、兴趣和辛酸。

“……塔罗牌提醒我们，我们对意义、目的以及与神的联系的渴望是普遍存在的。塔罗牌不仅反映了探索者的历史，也反映了我们使用绘画及其他形式的艺术表达之旅，去阐释、演绎和庆祝我们共同的人类故事。

OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY MAY 3. 2024 TIME: 16.00 - 21.00
EXHIBITION PERIOD: MAY 3. – JUNE 1. 2024

"… No power inhabits a deck of tarot cards beyond what you, as the tarot reader, bring to them. There is no doctrinaire meaning for any card, and no authority on high handing down pronouncements. There is only your knowledge of myth and symbol. These things you may consider through the study of classical Greek and Roman myth, physics, all forms of mysticism and occultism, even psychology. You combine this with your own life experience […] and bring it to the cards."

The Fool’s Journey is a group exhibition gathering 22 internationally acclaimed artists working in different media. Each have been invited to interpret a tarot card from the Major Arcana, which is comprised of 22 cards within the tarot deck that depict the main stages or events that can happen in one’s life. The Major Arcana begins with the Fool, a symbol of innocence, ignorance and potential. His experiences as he learns, grows and makes his way through life are represented by the 21 cards that follow and is often referred to as “The Fool’s Journey.” As the curator or ‘High Priestess,’ of the exhibition, Rose Eken pulled a card for each artist, thus it is the whim of the tarot spread that determined which card each artist was assigned.

Collectively the artists in the exhibition form a dynamic, interconnected network – a sort of contemporary coven that spans across a wide variety of media, age, nationality and gender. Each of the 22 artworks will also be combined to create a Major Arcana deck, accompanied by a catalogue in the form of a classic tarot book that guides the user through both the cards and artworks.

Tarot is a practice we can all undertake and a language universally comprehensible if we dedicate time to observe the cards. Images and symbols surround us online as well as in art, fashion, design, street signs and emojis, and communicating in a language of symbolism is already second nature to us. The symbolic language of tarot is passed down through generations and is accessible to anyone looking for introspection and to find meaning.

Amidst a recent escalation of societal and global uncertainties, the popularity of tarot has surged. Tarot has the capacity to provide guidance and comfort through unprecedented events, which resonates with those seeking solace and direction. It aids self-examination, fosters creativity and helps one access their inner desires and fears.

While Tarot as a medium was once marginalised, artists throughout history have embraced tarot to propel cultural discourse and broaden perspectives. Female artists who have cited tarot as one of their sources of inspiration such as Ithell Colquhoun, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo are now receiving recognition for their contributions to art history. This exhibition addresses the resurgence, interest and poignance of tarot in contemporary life and the artworld.

"…Tarot reminds us of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose, and for a connection to the divine. Tarot reflects not only a history of seekers, but also our journey of artistic expression and the way we use ink, paint and pencil to illuminate and to celebrate our shared human story’ "
