Freiheit (Freedom)
Freedom is a precarious commodity that must always be conquered, fought for, preserved, protected and defended anew. The arts are considered the noblest area of freedom: playfully and without purpose, art offers a space in which the taboo, the unrealistic, the purposeless, the utopian and the dystopian, the insane and the everyday are tested, questioned, turned on their head, illuminated and played out. In times when the world is in ruins, art is allowed to turn to the beautiful. In times when the rhythm of functioning keeps the world in time, art may experiment with dystopias and dysfunctions.
What we negotiate and exhibit under the theme of 鈥瀎reedom鈥 asks where freedom shows itself, where it arises and where it has disappeared. In doing so, we are interested in the threshold and the tipping point that intertwines freedom and unfreedom, as well as the contrast between free and imprisoned, the infinite longing for freedom and the question of autonomy, which cannot be thought of without responsibility.
