ANTI-POP II

Mar 15, 2025 - Apr 24, 2025

鈥淎nti-Pop II鈥 channels the radical defiance of the NO!art movement into the present, confronting the commodification of contemporary art through raw, urgent, and often discomforting aesthetics. The exhibition traces a lineage from Boris Lurie鈥檚 politically charged rejection of market-friendly art to a contemporary generation of artists resisting aesthetic conformity, commercial trends, and sanitized cultural narratives. 鈥淎nti-Pop II鈥 features a wide array of artists, including Peter Bonde, Christian Eisenberger, Anna K.E., Boris Lurie, Florian Meisenberg, Manfred Peckl, Chloe Piene, Anselm Reyle, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Luise- Finn Tismer, Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven, Gabriel Vormstein, Thomas Zipp, and Egon Zippel.

At its core, NO!art was an anti-Pop, anti- establishment movement founded in 1959鈥攁 visceral counterpoint to the sleek, consumer- driven optimism of Warhol and Lichtenstein. It rejected spectacle in favor of raw social critique and existential protest. Today, when art operates both as luxury commodity and viral spectacle, the urgent question resurfaces: what does artistic resistance look like now?

This exhibition brings together artists who, in diverse ways, challenge traditional expectations of beauty, success, and political engagement in art. From distorted figuration to material excess, from satirical self-referentiality to politically charged imagery, 鈥淎nti-Pop II鈥 is about an art that refuses to conform, refuses to sell out, refuses to be polite.
