According to some online dictionaries, the verb ‘to clean’ means ‘to remove the dirt from something’. The adjective ‘clean’ means ‘free from dirt or stains’,and also, ‘morally uncontaminated’. The word ‘room’ refers to a defined space or to the idea of ‘space’ or ‘place’ in general. The title of the 2023 Judith Eisler class exhibition, CLEAN YOUR ROOM!, has not much to do with any domestic duties. Rather it is an invitation for the artists/students to present their works, and for the visitor to reflect on one’s own responsibilities. The real big room we all live in, has no walls or IKEA lamps, but plants and oceans. It is without a doubt time to clean up a bit. In 2023, making art, being an artist, is still different than building a car or performing an open-heart surgery, but the intentions behind making any artwork are also focused and determined. CLEAN YOUR ROOM! is a title, a theme, a guideline, an ironic way to say ‘let’s do it’. Together. In this exhibition, paintings, animations, UFOs (Unidentified Fascinating Objects), are displayed in the room where the students work during the school year. The architecture of the room/studios is almost untouched. A colored tape is running over walls and surfaces. Still, there’s something that we can’t really see: what will happen next. To those artworks. To ourselves. But there’s something we can definitely do: we can clean our room!
