Nothing New Under the Sun

GUILT. There's nothing new under the sun, humanity is to be fully blamed for the current state of affairs. 

ANXIETY. Accompanying phenomenon.

VISION. Is crucial. The future is clouded but firm faith is something that cannot be torn from our souls. 

MISSION. Erases guilt and brings a new purpose. To learn from the past.

There's nothing new under the sun, humanity is to be fully blamed for the current state of affairs. Guilt is the weight thrown upon our shoulders, the weight we have thrown there ourselves. Sometimes it's easier to blame others, other times it's not. There are no "others" here.

In blaming others aren't we guilty of blaming? There's no one else here.

What do we blame of, what are we guilty of.

The maximum temperature in the Czech Republic was measured in the summer of 2019 in Doksany, south of Litoměřice: 38.9C. On the 25th of July in Paris, shortly before 2 PM, a temperature of 40.6C was measured. In the 70's, the Swedish mountain Kebnekaise measured 2111 meters above sea level. It is at 2095.6 meters now.

The jet streams are weakening and moving north, causing the melting of ice in Greenland. The hurricane Dorian is the strongest hurricane of the year, according to CNN. It hit the Bahamas on the 1st of September leaving 50 dead and 1300 missing, the officials say. More than 185 thousand of USA homes and businesses have been evacuated as a result.

Jet streams influence the weather, weather determines the temperature. Climate change influences the jet streams. Who influences climate change?

Accompanying phenomenon, an absolute misery. It follows the feeling of guilt. Doubt, uncertainty and fear, we cannot breathe in despite being used to sulphur.

Hundreds of passengers waiting the departures and arrival to their destination. They fly for work, their friends and their family. They found their flight and booked their tickets, arrived at the airport, checked in. They are the lords of their journey. All flights have been cancelled, landing is allowed only for the planes hat are already in the air.

Upwards of 75 million of passengers travel through the Hong Kong International Airport each year.

In June of 2017 a student rode the New York subway to his graduation. A subway full of people got stuck. Technical difficulties. They strangers traveling with him staged their own graduation ceremony. The train was dark and oxygen was running out. After three hours they were rescued.

Hope dies last. It is crucial. The future is clouded but firm faith is something . that cannot be torn from our souls. who and how do we want to be when tomorrow comes? The sun rises every day.

Let's give ourselves a mission. It erases guilt and . brings a new purpose. to learn from the past. The future opens new possibilities, tomorrow is a new day and we're the ones who decide. Forwards or backwards. They sky has to be dark for us to see the light, It has to be dark for us to know what light is. It is dark enough. We are making mistakes so that we can fix them. We need to understand our own actions.

日光之下并无新事（中文解读）

画廊第7个展览，2018-2019学年，举办了6个展览。

从2019年学年开始，项目开始了新的形象，展览也已Open Call（公开征选）的机制运行。第一轮Open Call，有数十应征者，除了捷克本地，也包括欧洲其他国家，最远的来自韩国。

Open Call的首展，包括一位波兰年轻艺术家，三位捷克年轻艺术家。他们用自己的影像和装置作品，讲述了相关联的主题。

策展人把他们组合在一起，并且介绍说，展览将不再是单纯的单向的，不仅作品更加开放，其展示以及抵达观众的方式，也将更加立体多元。

这间画廊，最可贵的，是年轻人对艺术的执着和热爱，也因此，一如既往地吸引着年轻人。

日光之下并无新事。

"已有的事后必再有，已行的事后必再行，日光之下并无新事。"

这句出自圣经的名句，常常被我们口语化为"太阳底下没有新鲜事儿"。"孩子们"做这些思考的时候，我们几个"大人"在聊天，感叹现在的年轻人和我们那时候真的不一样，当然，我们不相信自己已然成为"九斤老太"。

日光之下并无新事。

然，就算再行已有事，也必旧酒换新瓶。

S1：日光之下并无新事

愧疚。太阳底下没有新鲜事儿，当前的状况完全归咎于人类。

焦虑。随之而来的现象。

愿景。是必要的。未来是模糊的，但是坚定的信念不能从灵魂中磨灭。

使命。它消除了负罪感，并且带来的新的目标。从过去中学习。

太阳底下没有新鲜事儿，当前的状况完全归咎于人类。负罪感是我们自己扔到我们肩上的重担。有时责备他人更容易，有时也不是，当没有所谓的"他人"存在的时候。责备他人的时候，我们为责备而内疚吗？这里没有别人。我们责备什么，又为什么而责备？

捷克共和国的最高温度出现在2019年夏季的Doksany，Litoměřice南部：38.9摄氏度。7月25日巴黎，下午二点之前，测量到40.6摄氏度高温。七十年代，瑞典的凯布讷山 （Kebnekaise）海拔2111米，现在是2095.6米。

急流变弱并向北移动，造成了格陵兰冰融。据CNN报道，多利安飓风是当年最强飓风，9月1日袭击巴哈马，官方数字为50人死亡1300人失踪。超过18.5万家庭和企业被疏散。

急流影响天气，天气决定气温。气候变化影响急流。谁在影响气候变化？

伴随的现象，绝对的苦难，随之而来的是罪恶感、怀疑、不安和恐惧。尽管习惯了硫，我们仍然无法呼吸。

数以百计的旅客等待离开或抵达他们的目的地。他们飞行去工作、去看朋友，去看望家人。他们找到航班并定机票，到达机场，办理乘机手续。他们是旅程的主人。所有航班被取消，仅仅允许那些已经飞行的航班落地。

每年有超过七千五百万旅客从香港国际机场通行。

2017年6月，一个学生在纽约乘坐地铁去参加毕业典礼。挤满人的地铁卡住了。技术故障。和他在一起的旅客们一起举行了毕业典礼。列车里黑暗而且氧气也耗光了。三小时之后，人们被救出。

永不放弃。这很关键。未来乌云密布，但坚定的信念是我们灵魂不可磨灭的东西。 当明天来临，我们希望成为谁又如何成为？太阳每天都升起

让我们给自己一个使命。它消除了负疚感并带来了新目标。从过去中学习。未来开辟了新的可能，明天是新的一天，我们决定者。前进或后退。天空必然是黑暗的，才令我们看到光明。黑暗令我们懂得光明。已经足够黑暗了。我们正在犯错，所以我们能够纠正。我们需要了解自己的行为。
