The exhibition "Notes on Lightness" examines the concept of lightness beyond common clichés. It does not merely thematize it as something weightless, floating or as a fetish of happiness that seems to promise a break from the omnipresent burdens. Rather, she understands becoming light as a resistant movement against a present that is not recognized as a political space of possibility and action in the repetition of the ever-same. Lightness therefore comes into focus in times of upheaval, when stable structures and orders are eroding. Or when power regimes channel or break the desire for difference and change.
Participating artists: Cecilia Bengolea, Nuotama Bodomo, Nina Davies, Leo Flügler, Suchan Kinoshita, Ariane Müller, Charlotte Posenenske, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Xing Danwen. Realized by Ilse Lafer with the team of the HGB-Galerie
