A Golden Age
An Exhibition Curated by Moses Znaimer
The term Golden Age originated in Greek mythology. It refers to the
first in a sequence of Ages of Man. The Golden Age denotes the period
of primordial peace, harmony, stability, and prosperity during which,
it is said, humans lived among the gods, mingling freely with them,
and living to a very old age – all the while keeping their youthful
appearance and vitality.
According to media innovator Moses Znaimer, today’s new “Zoomer”
generation is staying current, fit, healthy and engaged well past what
used to be thought as the traditional age of “retirement”. In Mr.
Znaimer’s own words “most Zoomers are active, contributing members of
society. Just staying alive is not our preference; living well till we
die is”
How does the concept of A Golden Age fire your imagination as a visual
artist? Artists are encour- aged to explore this theme widely through
the artistic medium of their choice.
Artists selected for this exhibition will be paid Carfac fees, will be
eligible for a $2000 Best in Show Prize and a $1000 Peoples’ Choice
Prize, and their work will be featured in Zoomer Magazine. Out of town
artists will receive accommodation if they wish to be present at the
ZoomerShow.
