Fea Initiative Presents “METROPOLIS AND MEEEENTAL II”

“METROPOLIS AND MEEEENTAL II” is part of a series of exhibitions aiming to explore the modern individual’s sense of estrangement, shaped by spatial frameworks beyond their control. The outset for this endeavor is based on an interest in the ways in which artistic practices contribute to the understanding of the urban and its psychological dimensions. Each exhibition stands independently yet remains interwoven with others, creating a dialogue across specific works, perspectives and places.

COI is a curatorial project and non-profit initiative that aims to present a series of exhibitions in diverse urban spaces.

The city as an overall theme is not surveyed in general, on the contrary, it is analyzed and portrayed from diverse, consciously fragmentary points of view. The city could thus be described as a loose-fit framework from which to create presentations that implicitly or explicitly engage with the subject of the city and the ways in which we make sense of, or attach meaning to the multifaceted aspects of urban culture. The name “COI” is borrowed from a billboard advertisement –It was part of a real estate slogan attempting to pitch potential buyers and investors with the message: “CITY OF INTEREST”.
