The exhibition “Ensemble of Conditions“ assembles artistic projects that position themselves by means of discursive, analytical or activist confrontation against the predominating politics of neoliberal global Capitalism – against discrimination, ostracism and exploitation.
The hegemony of hetero-normative, racist practices as well as their increasing acceptance and normalisation in neo-liberal societies necessitates the formation of resistant oppositions, thus bringing about an alternative production of knowledge and historiographies as well as progressive modes of self-empowerment and self-determination. With regard to critical practices of art, this also means a permanent discussion of the threat of appropriation and instrumentalisation through conventional culture-production machineries.
The artistic positions represented in this exhibition, try to point out potentials of individual as well as collective models of action against the dominant capitalist system, to grasp processes of subjectivation and mobilisation, to develop strategies against normative identity constructions and to oppose the objectivation of minorities as well as the medialisation and normalisation of their discrimination.
