| Second Wave catalog |
Second Wave is a specially curated selection of 19 video works by emerging artists from different parts of the world. It was conceived as a response to Covideo’s original gesture of providing an expanded reading of the particular time in history we are witnessing. This time, we wanted to reflect on how the current global scenario impacted young artists at the early stages of their careers.
Since March 2020, a new collective imaginary has developed. Words such as wave, isolation, loneliness, distance, care and collectivity have acquired different meanings. They became like symbols of a new lifestyle, shared by billions of people around the globe. Covideo’s Second Wave, therefore, presents an organic array of videos contributing to the understanding of this new imaginary which we are all a part of, as well as to the registry of this important chapter of art history through its narratives.
We aim to come together once again in the face of forced isolation and distance. For this reason, we decided to dedicate this space to emerging artists and art students to respond to the neglect and the lack of visibility that may have affected them during the past year. Hopefully, these brilliant artworks and the diverse themes they touch upon will inspire a conversation and a deeper reflection on our present moment and the most pressing social matters affecting various parts of the world.
The works were selected through an open call and will be featured on the platform for nine weeks, between May 19 and July 14. Each week, two videos will be up on Covideo’s website featuring a special theme.
