Friendly Fire

The artists Stefan Demary, Euan Macdonald, Max Grueter, Ben Morieson and Roman Signer are represented in videos, drawings and installations concentrating on subjects as (self-) destruction, absurdity, borderline experience and paradoxes. Friendly Fire, a military term, means the inadvertent attack of units by their own units. The term is euphemistic and cynical at the same time. As such, he is suitable in outstanding way to subsume hardly comprehensible, paradoxical circumstances under one slogan. "Friendly Fire” is about a development to a technical perfection, that includes both: the possibilities of success and of complete disaster at the same time; it is about horribly undesirable developments, that we never thought off when planning the good, turning into bad.
