“A way of life can be shared among individuals of different ages, statuses, and social activities, and it can yield intense relations not resembling those that are institutionalized. It seems that a way of life can yield a culture and ethics. To be “gay,” I think, is not to identify with the psychological traits and the visible masks of the homosexual but to try and define and develop a way of life.”
― Michel Foucault, Ethics: Subjectivity and Truth

“ This exhibition represents the collective image of a protagonist who is an indeterminate and unclear character. However, it would be strange to demand clarity from people at a time like ours, and there is one certain thing: our hero is a strange individual and an eccentric figure. Some may deem that strangeness and eccentricity are more likely to harm than deserve attention in a world of people desperately striving to identify particularities whilst searching for some common sense in the general muddle. A new question arises: eccentricity is detached and isolated, isn’t it? If you disagree with this and think, ‘No, it is not’ or ‘Not always ‘, here begins our inspirational moment. Not only is the eccentric figure ‘Not always’ or ‘ No it is not’ related to particularity and isolation, but on the contrary, it so happens that the eccentric one, perhaps, carries a core of the whole existence at some points, but the rest of the people, by some other kind of strangeness, at times are breaking away from it.” -Arthur Sopin and Andreas Rod

Metamodernism also suggests taking the Goal, which lies behind systems and religions, as a constant, but the constant as a method of achieving which a person must find independently. This is the principle of individuality, sensitive aristocracy, and creative morality as an individual revelation. The way of attaining the Goal is also proposed (the Goal is to own sacred growth, achievement, and comprehension of the pure actuality) or, at least, the road to it – going beyond the notions of “good and evil,” going out of the judgment, that the Dutch philosophers “Notes on metamodernism” were dubbed oscillation-oscillation. The sensitive aristocracy is about the sacred beginning behind the systems and religions, proclaiming a new era from the Post to the Meta.” – Arthur Sopin.

ALL WE ARE IS A RESULT OF SOMETHING THAT COMES FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHETHER THROUGH EVOLUTION AND GENES OR THROUGH EXPERIENCES GATHERED AND CONSEQUENCES OF OUR INTERACTION WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. OBSERVING THE WORLD CAN PROVIDE A GROUND FOR UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITIONS FOR ONE’S OWN ROLE IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. SEEING THEMSELVES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO ACT AS.

The depth of any great religion, whose roots go off in axial time, is closer to the depth of another great faith than its own surface. The difference between languages and images of religious experience cannot be eliminated; it is inseparable from the difference of cultures in the multicolour world. Dialogue does not erase this multicolour. But it leads to the depth, where all the differences look like the refraction of a single ray of the inner light that lit up the world in antiquity and gave the power to the formation of cultural planets gravitating towards globality and remaining sub-global only because of the ancient insurmountability of the oceans and deserts. Today we must continue the beginning and re-see the world as a spiritual whole. Seeing, we will create it.
