Easy Life Is Hard

The visual exhibition poem “Easy Life Is Hard” consists of various original presentations which reflect upon different life situations and emotions people encounter. Everybody leads their private life, which often ties to their artistic/creative language, which is often bound by, or perhaps defined as “abnormality” within the scope of everyday reality. How many of such “abnormalities” is a human being able to bear? They say we are given “only” what we can bear… That is unbearable… Are we just supposed to be offloading or do we have room for more?

Somebody dies, the earth shakes… and someone else’s life carries on. Is everything that happens to us just a coincidence or is there a “higher power”? Or are we “just” born into a (in)convenient environment? Are we actually in control of our own lives or are we just naively pretending that we are the ones in charge? What about those empty and painful spaces in our lives? We lead our individual lives within ourselves while being a part of the mosaic of life and its various circumstances. We oscillate in the diverse tapestry of human fate. Easy life is hard, but that is the way life is… 

The catalogue serves as an intimate presentation of nine different artists of various generations whose work or personality has affected the curator during a certain period of her life and served as an inspiration for the Easy Life Is Hard exhibition.
