entelechy
[en-‘te-le-ke: a hypothetical agency not demonstrable by scientific methods that in some vitalist doctrines is considered an inherent regulating and directing force in the development and functioning of an organism]
This exhibition included computer graphics, drawing, painting, photography, and video. The title, Entelechy, derives from Aristotelian philosophy and refers to the actualization of potentiality or of true existence.
According to the Young Curators, each work represented the need to express the entelechy of existence. Entelechy is something that cannot be scientifically proven, but contradicts a view that art is not necessary.
