Crossroads intenta replicar un dilema irresoluble. No es algo imposible ganar consuelo emocional retornando al pasado, o predecir el futuro detectando signos de retornos históricos. Tampoco avanzar significa encontrar un horizonte con el que podamos contar. Crossroads es escepticismo frente a evasiones, frente a soluciones y a objetivos a largo plazo. La exposición propone ofrecer una mirada sobre la situación actual de confusión y de situarse en el centro, aún sin tener una salida viable.
The left-wing literary magazine Crossroads founded by Lu Xun and Feng Xuefeng in December 1931, and the movie Crossroads directed by realist film artist Shen Xiling in 1937, were literary and artistic practices that made attempts at offering emergency solutions to crisis against particular social backgrounds. Today, we are confronted with a reality of multiple plights that are constantly described as “states of emergencies” and “omnipresent uprising of wars” (these predicaments are made known to us by being referred to through comparisons to historical experiences, for examples, refugee camps being compared to concentration camps). The situations and challenges are not simpler, nor more complicated.
The universalization of conservatism and egoism in the current global politics, which continuously affirm and validate each other through their different manifestations in various contexts, makes it even harder for the already trapped liberalist humanistic values to make any breakthrough. “Crossroads” in the first Bienal de Anren is neither about “mobilization” nor singling out a commitment to revolution as the absolutely positive outlook. Rather, it is skeptism towards escapes, solutions and the long-termed objectives. Crossroads as we would like to explore in this exhibition is a recognition of and gaze at a situation of confusion and of being in the center yet having no way out.
