Kristoffer Frick

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 suggests limitation, is subverted and broken in this selection.

The works on display engage with fragile identities, forms of subjectivity, and contemporary role patterns, foregrounding their own self-understanding. Images that resemble different states of matter. Everyday objects, enigmatically combined in even more mundane situations, reappear time and again.

The curator brings together the perspectives of the artists, who explore themes of everyday life, imagination, flesh, infinity, poetry, immortality, and androgyny. All of these aspects are connected to human existence and unite positions that tend toward dark, sadomasochistic, self-referential – possibly even esoteric actions – while still being part of the internal discourse of art. This can be both accurate and inaccurate in its extremes.

The exhibition reflects something ambiguous in the context of the longing for perfection, ontology, and vampirism.

The exhibition is curated by Oona-Léa von Maydell.
