Don´t Look Now

The Collection of Contemporary Art, Part 1

“Don’t Look Now” is the first in a series of annual thematic presentations from the contemporary art collection of Kunstmuseum Bern: The challenge embedded in the title refers to the central role of visual perception in fine art and also to the “invisible moment” when physical-sensual perception changes into knowledge, which has always been reflected in art itself. However, with which media and methods does this take place in contemporary art and how is this linked to the invisible? How does this lead, from the aesthetic point of view, to knowledge? Seeing, making seeing impossible, invisibility, visibility – the interactive field of these concepts is explored with great gusto and productivity in the works presented.
