TERRY BERKOWITZI'M NOT REALLY AFRAID OF THE DARK03.01 - 09.01.1976
Galerie S:t Petri
S:t Petri Kyrkogata 5
Lund
“I’m not really afraid of the dark,” says TERRY BERKOWITZ from the USA about her exhibition at Galerie S:t Petri, Lund, which takes place from 3–9 January 1976. The gallery is dark; inside, a lamp shaped like a rabbit glows, and a voice is heard from a tape recorder.
Terry Berkowitz, who has not previously exhibited in Europe, began in 1972 to work with film, video, and conceptual art. Later she became involved with human behavior, sociology, and manipulations of reality.
About the exhibition in Lund, Terry Berkowitz says:
“Our fear is a manipulated and distorted reflection of our reality. Sometimes this fear remains unconscious. The things we imagine allow us to sublimate our real anxiety. In this exhibition, a personal experience that continually returned in my childhood nights is manifested. By presenting an image, my own specific distortions are communicated to someone else — a transfer of realities takes place — and the viewer re-experiences his or her own early experiences. By repeating someone else’s experience of anxiety, it becomes possible to discover previously unknown information, which perhaps leads one to come to terms with one’s own anxiety-filled past.”
The exhibition is open weekdays from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
