BAKU: The founder of "YARAT" Modern Art Space, participated in the opening of the "YAY" gallery, which has restarted its activities. This time, YAY presents a group exhibition called 'Everything Will Be Alright: Tomorrow or Someday' consisting of the works of RasimBabayev, Elshan Baba, TarlanGorchu, OrkhanHuseynov, Aida Mahmudova, GafarRzayev, ZamirSuleymanov, and CHINGIZ. Curated by Zahra Mammadova 'Art is the highest form of hope' Gerhard Richter In this exhibition, the viewer is confronted with the meditation that art is both a mirror and a remedy, urging us to consider its power to drive change. Eight artists with diverse practices have come together, each offering a unique perspective on this transformative force-parallel truths that overlap and interconnect. Here, we explore various themes: from contemporary dilemmas to introspective journeys. Artists delve into liminal spaces, seeking meaning amidst the complexities of time and place. They tackle identity, prompting us to reflect on who we are an d where we stand. The exposition embodies the 'diaries' that make sense perhaps personally to the artists themselves, yet resonate and also reflect the collective experiences. Embedded within their work is a dialogue with our socio-political reality-a raw conversation that speaks to the soul. What is more naked standing bare in front of the questions? Questions arise, challenging us to consider conflicts and chaos while finding beauty and purpose within. Each artist is somewhat of a prophet of their era, inviting us to find meaning in their narratives. The exhibition aims to incite a seed for thought for it to grow bigger and find belief in the power of art in difficult times. Through narrating, we find continuity and hope. As long as artists continue to share their stories and visions, we can find solace and the promise of a better future.
