Janne Lias will open her first
solo exhibition titled “Dog Show”
on Wednesday, January 16 at 6–8pm
at Vent Space project space.
“To get over some fears, you need to actively deal with them. Some others you may simply grow out of and realise at some point that you just aren’t afraid anymore. That said, terrifying past events leave their mark and leave you with unpleasant memories.
One active method for overcoming phobias is to confront them i.e. through exposure, in which you get used to the frightening situation or object through careful yet consistent contact with them. Another method is to poke fun at the fear and convince yourself you aren’t afraid anymore. But does this work?”
The exhibition will be open from January 17 to 19 at 12–6pm and
on January 20 at 12–4pm.
