Humanity has ceased to be friendly. People have forgotten how to listen to each other and even treat each other well, or at least neutral. This is what the installation of American artist Barbara Kruger called Taking Place at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to.
Humanity has become a Civilization thanks to public consciousness, collective action. This is how it was possible to create science, technology, culture, and just get out of the caves. But recently, the cult of individualism with its concept of inviolable personal space and egoism has spread more and more. And people stopped hearing each other, stopped even paying attention to each other. Humanity has become a powerful irritant for itself.
The installation Taking Place, created by Barbara Kruger for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, is dedicated to this. This is the place where the most common phrases that some people say to others are collected. It also pays attention to all kinds of interpersonal stereotypes accumulated by Humanity.
“Don't tell me what to do,” “Don't tell me where to go,” “Let's stay friends,” “Please shut up.” These are just a few of the verbal clichés that Barbara Kruger collected for this installation of hers.
According to the artist, people should open up to each other, learn to talk to each other again, listen and listen to each other. Clichés must be broken, stereotypes dispelled. But the current path of development of relations between people leads to a dead end.
