‘Everything Evermore All at Once’: New Exhibition at HSE ART GALLERY
HSE ART GALLERY, which was established in 2018, has launched a new exhibition area. The first project in the new space opened on May 28, 2024. The exhibition represents works by more than 50 HSE Art and Design School students and graduates in Contemporary Art, Fashion, and Subject Design.
The exhibition ‘Everything Evermore All at Once,’ curated by Anzor Kankulov, Daria Pyrkina, and Maria Stepanova, present a panorama of the generation of twenty-year-olds—the first generation born and raised in the new millennium. The name of the project refers to the Oscar-winning film by Daniel Scheinert and Dan Kwan ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ that takes place in the multiverse—young artists and designers create a similar bizarre and surreal world in this exhibition.
Surrealism has turned from a description of the art movement into a synonym of phantasmagoric things in life. The feeling of irrationality, loss of control, being in the flow or even a whirlwind of events is somehow related to the period between the world wars, which gave the world surrealism, and today. Thus, the exposition hints at the famous ‘street’ with bizarre mannequins at the Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme in Paris in 1938.
In the world of the mid-2020s, tectonic shifts are taking place—both technological and geopolitical. Shakiness and instability, the need to constantly change and learn new things, train flexibility and adaptability are at the heart of many projects of young artists. On the other hand, the fragility and vulnerability of the human mind and body are more acutely felt in this world, and this also becomes a subject for reflection. The participants of the exhibition broadcast their own picture of the world, create a model of the habitat on the principle of the metaverse, and consolidate objects in it to match their worldview—changeable, hypertrophied and hybrid.
Curator of the exhibition
‘It is very interesting to observe how every new generation coming on stage develops their own aesthetics, yet every time you recognise the stylistic features of one of the past eras. Even 10–15 years ago, neo-conceptualism was ‘in fashion.’ Now it seems that the time for neo-baroque with its pomp and excess has come.’
