Sadness Is Rebellion, borrowed from the eponymous song by the duo Lebanon Hanover, stems from a fundamental conviction: sadness, far from being a sign of weakness or withdrawal, can be seen as an act of poetic rebellion and a transformative force. Bringing together five young artists whose pictorial practice oscillates between figuration and abstraction, the exhibition offers a visual exploration of vulnerability and "fragility" in contemporary artistic discourse, examining its multiple facets: first, that which refers to the solitude of the contemporary individual confronted with alienation and existential uprooting; second, that which resonates collectively through a generalized social malaise; and finally, that which is rooted in the erosion of community ties in favor of a society founded on consumption and narcissistic self-exploitation.
How can sadness become a form of redemption in a world governed by the politics of "eternal happiness"? Where does art lie at the limits of the senses, and what are the true spaces where the artistic individual — whether artist, curator or spectator — can expose themselves in an emotional pantheon that accepts sadness, in its various manifestations, as a place of research and transformation?
