Conceived to conclude the annual programme of la rada art space, Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear (AGAIN) presents recent works by Luka Rayski and Augustin Rebetez, who are dealing both with the reversal of the aesthetic codes of beauty through states of mind oscillating between the reverie and the hallucination.

Reflecting on the situation of general tension that we unsuccessfully try to forget in a temporary way, Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear (AGAIN) reminds us that behind every light in the dark could hide a monster: will it eat us? Or is it only a reflection in the mirror?

On June 5th, 2019, the second chapter of this double solo show opened at Galeria Promocyjna - Staromiejski Dom Kulturi under the title:
