When we accept the risk, we want the challenge. Risk is the confrontation with the possibility of danger and novelty. It's the assumption of failure or success. We give up comfort. Risk opens the door to experience and error, new dialogues and artistic creation. “I WILL TAKE THE RISK” is intended to move forward without guarantees, without certainty, without security.
In the proposed collective exposure, risk is understood as a premeditated action. It is the implication of change – taking risks. Risk is a catalyst and a culprit, it works transformations. It is the open door for what is to come. Risk is the challenge to be faced head on, it is the emergence of new experiences. The result can be disastrous, null, rewarding or epic.
The studio is the space that invites the artist to constantly and deliberately confront risk.
