So wie die Dinge liegen (as matters stand)

nicht weit von der wirklichkeit entfernt (not far from reality)

no one ever dies here, no one has a head

The exhibition "No one ever dies there, no one has a head" presents art works that deal with forms of presentation and perception as well as the abstraction and repression of war, violence and fear in "western civilisation." They counteract the blind spots of short- and long-sightedness as well as the fading and fade-over of those images that are just as important for modern warfare as they are for modern mass media.

Say Hello to Peace and Tranquillity

The exhibition "Say Hello to Peace and Tranquility" introduces video installations that are involved with the structure of language and/or reconstructed spaces. They examine the mechanisms of physical and especially the psychological inclusion and exclusion patterns that are anchored in language as well as in architecture. The main focus of the exhibition is the significance of space and language in our private, intimate life as an assumed guarantee of tranquility, order and harmony. The exhibition's title refers to the work by Dagmar Keller / Martin Wittwer.
