The
third chapter of the Portals exhibition series Stile Gazing presents works by
five positions dealing in each their own ways with strategies of
instrumentalizing the gaze, or through the gaze, then the image. We shape our
tools and thereafter our tools shape us. By either enhancing or dissolving
these systems the works examine the gaze and the structures that produce it. We say, look into the sun and engulf
in what truth you find lying and fall back
wondering what you were even looking at in the first place.

Portals
is an exhibition concept initiated by Salon 75 in Copenhagen Denmark, ranging
across Europe and cross-pollinating several similar
platforms. From the summer of 2022 until the summer of 2023,
Salon 75 has facilitated collaborations with
artist-run galleries: Berlinskej Model (Prague), GOMO (Vienna), The Balcony
(Haag), and Heit (Berlin). Each venue partakes in presentations across each others respective platforms.
