From February 5, 2010 – February 20, 2010, Ben Ross, the young aspiring artist, presents for the first time parts of his extensive work in his solo exhibition ARS AUTHENTICA in Berlin Mitte.
In over 100 drawings of various formats, he raises the question with a provocative undertone of what can currently be described as authentic. Ben Ross postulates the thesis that past and present substitute each other and allows both extremes to collide with each other by comparing his generation to other generations. Dictatorship versus democracy, politicians versus party kids; how does today’s youth distinguish itself from the youth 60 years ago? How does ideology differ from non-ideology? How do I behave in a public life where everything is already public? We are forced to question the concept of authenticity as a whole. In his one-off opening performance “Decipherment of Predetermined Attitudes” on 05.02.2010, Ben Ross explicitly addresses this very issue and decodes the gestures of a generation of changes.
