Our analogue social network has grown and grown in the past years, and in 2024 has travelled throughout Europe. It’s now coming to MAGMA Contemporary Art Space, in Sfântu Gheorghe!
We can’t underestimate the importance of social media in making our work known, but (sigh), do I really have to post today..again?
Sounds familiar, right? We know it might sound a little eh and the consumption of art via screen (phone, computer) has become so ubiquitous that it often replaces a visit to a gallery or museum, while the experience is implicitly degraded, but it’s not all bad. While it does make us spend more time online than in the studio, it also has this strange power of effortlessly bringing us together. We want to make this count so Share, Tag or Dye is that place where social media meets the tangible. We invited the whole world to join us and work with us in creating one big collective work, since social media can instrument it so easily (and we wanted the best of both worlds!).
Through an open call, hundreds of people from 29 countries all over the world joined us (for the third year in a row) and together we (re)hacked the idea of open call. It became a funky collab platform that knows no gender, country, religion, medium and well, no preconceptions or judgements of any kind really. All of you out there who joined us contributed with a link from your social media feeds, to be brought into matter using cyanotype, a 180 years old photographic technique, based on iron salts that are UV sensitive and yield a deep blue print.
