There is …

Reflections from a damaged Life?

Setting up the world, furnishing, decorating and finally inhabiting the world is the starting point in order to examine the tension between critique of the present and the longing for a “beautiful world” – asking to what extent the mentality of a certain time can be read.
All artists – ranging from De Stijl, Minimalism, the 1980ies to the present –, are related by the oppositional, aesthetic response to the everyday world. They do not just accept the present as a given fact, between folk art, kitsch and cutting social analysis, between Hornbach and Adorno so to speak, they reveal exciting alternative drafts.
