Lichtundfire is pleased to announce and welcome all to the Opening Reception of THESEUS’s CRAFT TheParadox of the Real, co-curated by independent curator Hayley Ferber and Lichtundfire's gallery director Priska Juschka. The exhibition is a conceptual continuation of the previous two exhibitions, interlaced with the myth of Ariadne, and based on the character of her interim lover, Theseus, per the myth- the son of King Aegeus of Athens.
Also known as the Ship (craft) of Theseus, it presents a paradox and a philosophical thought experiment that questions whether an object remains the same object after all of its original components have been replaced over time. According to the myth, the legendary trireme, a three-rowed galley from which the Cretan Princess Ariadne and Theseus departed Crete after he had slain his half-brother, a dangerous, human-eating Minotaur, was preserved by the Athenians.
