The artist makes an offer to the observer: He/She is invited to share the artist's subjective perception of the world.
Visual perception is an extremely individual process influenced by personal environment and cultural conditions - noone ever sees excatly the same as anybody else.
The exhibition presents artistic positions dealing explicitely with the revelation of the a priori hidden resp. invisible and the formation of images inside our heads.
Opening, Friday, August 31
Ushijima Koutarou
Ushijima Koutarou and Takamitsu Ohta both deal with their surroundings through site specific works but in extremely different ways: Whereas Koutarou creates emotional spaces, Ohta's work describes and thereby underlines location specific phenomena.
Takamitsu Ohta
Niklas Lichti
Niklas Lichti's works are based on Minimal Art considerations concerning the situation of the observer: He creates a parcour of aethetic perceptions, where the actual object on display can be seen only through the observer's effort.
Andreas Lorenschat
Andreas Lorenschat had people describe a video never shown in public. Displayed as tickers, those descriptions create different speculative ideas of the original scenes in the imagination of the observer.
Goeksel Yilmaz
Goeksel Yilmaz' work creates a tension through the absence of an expected event.
