This
exhibition presents the work of fifteen young artists who
graduated from the Reyum Art School in 2006. After four
years training in basic drawing and painting skills they
have acquired a solid knowledge of two-dimensional
representation. To offer them the opportunity to further
explore their creative practice, Reyum Art School
established a creative workshop called: Creative Lab
in 2007. The year long workshop introduced the students to
other contemporary art practices such as installations,
video art, and performance art. Through collaborations with
visiting artists and residencies abroad, the students also
experienced new ways of making art. This exposure gave them
a glimpse of a more experimental art practice than what
their training had provided thus far. It is through the
Creative Lab workshops that the idea for this exhibition
emerged. During a period of ten weeks, the fifteen artists
gathered in the Reyum gallery to research, discuss and share
ideas about their work. Slide shows, group discussions and
curatorial guidance provided the structure for this
experimental process. The work presented here is the result
of this creative process.
