Ich komme aus wir.
With Eric Bell and Kristoffer Frick, François Lancien-Guilberteau, Max Marion Kober, Michele Di Menna.
The selection of artists is based on shared journeys. The concept of a network, which carries a negative connotation as it implies limitation, is subverted and broken in this selection.
The works on display engage with fragile identities, forms of subjectivity, and contemporary role patterns that foreground their own self-understanding. Images that resemble different states of a form. Everyday objects, enigmatically combined in even more mundane situations, appear again and again.
The curator brings together the perspectives of the artists, who work with the staging of everyday life, imagination, flesh, infinity, poetry, immortality, and androgyny. All of these are aspects connected to human existence and unite positions that tend toward dark, sadomasochistic, self-referential – possibly even esoteric acts – while still being part of the internal discourse of art. This can be both accurate and inaccurate in its extremes.
The exhibition reflects something hybrid in the context of the longing for perfection, ontology, and vampirism.
The exhibition is curated by Oona-Léa von Maydell.
