A group exhibition conceived by 15 AVU students as a result of working for one semester at the Saloun Studio with guest professor Silke Otto-Knapp. The exhibition will present individual works by each student in the context of the discussions that took place throughout the semester. This dialogue about different approaches to painting and its conceptual framework will be reflected both in the exhibition and a publication.

Rather than an exhibition, it is an authorial environment – architecture within architecture. The vision for this solution is based on the motif of an island, a changing landscape, lithospheric plates, and the story of the mill complex itself. The basic conceptual framework creates space for collective and individual multi-genre artistic and curatorial work.
When we deal with the legacy of mythology, we are primarily interested in what that "legacy" is. Are they themes? Specific characters? Certain models? Ideals? Through its narratives, mythology presents us not only with a multitude of archetypes and stereotypes, but also with many ideals and moral and emotional models that have been accepted to a certain extent as canons, dogmas, and model cases over the centuries. Carl Gustav Jung already noticed this in his interpretation in the field of analytical psychology (archetypes).
