Description

The On Target is an ambitious project of Pafos 2017 about war and violence. The original idea is based on the work “Human Targets” by the Cypriot visual artist Rinos Stefani. The curator of the project, prominent German art historian Inge Baecker, with the assistance of visual artist Susan Vargas invited artists Tammam Azzam, Molitor & Kuzmin, Ulrike Rosenbach and Rinos Stefani to participate in the exhibition which will last from 9 July – 30 September 2017. The exhibition also includes works by Wolf Vostell, one of the most influential artists of contemporary art, a pioneer of Happening and Fluxus. The On Target project also organizes a presentation- discussion on 5 July 2017 about “Art and Violence”.

Cyprus is surrounded by countries in conflict and has itself gone through the experience of war and refugees. Military targets, check points and the Buffer Zone constantly remind us of this violence. Similar situations are being experienced in many places in the world.
