"Apple Face" Vernissage

​“Apple Face” is an upcoming group exhibition curated by Aidana Bergali, bringing together artists who explore how the language of Surrealism, both figurative and abstract, translates into the conditions of the contemporary world.

​The title references the iconic “Son of Man” (1964) by René Magritte, where a floating apple obscuring a man’s face becomes an exploration of how an ordinary object can turn into an agent of identity distortion.

​Today, we inhabit a world where Apple™ has, in a literal sense, replaced the human face as interface, mediating how we see, present, and construct reality. A device in a back pocket can summon entire worlds, making the impossible instantly visible.

​Surrealism once aimed to reveal the strangeness beneath everyday life. Now, that said strangeness defines it, and as realities blur, the familiar grows quietly uncanny. “Apple Face” uses surrealist language not as escape, but as a way of noticing just how surreal the present has become.

​Like the dream once was for Surrealism, the digital has become a parallel space of presence. The hidden and the visible, the physical and its virtual double, no longer oppose one another, but coexist as domains. Within this shifting terrain, each work extends beyond itself, inhabiting more than one reality at once.

​Every work in the show comes with an unusual gift: a digital asset that generates Bitcoin daily. It is made possible through a partnership with GoMining, one of the world's largest Bitcoin mining companies.

​It is a step toward a new dimension in collecting, where cultural and financial value become more closely intertwined.
