nation

Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt

The concept of nation has for a long time played a central role in the domain of political representation. The exhibition presents works which productively and critically engage with the theme of national identity and associated topics and asks, in the space between global thinking and national belonging, what nation can still mean, or mean once again, today.


comunicato stampa

The concept of nation has for a long time played a central role in the domain of political representation. In a counter- movement to the globalisation trend, an intensified reflection on supposedly national specificities has become noticeable. Contemporary art, in turn, has taken up the theme of nation and national identity in order to develop other models of representational structures and to put hegemonic models into question.

The exhibition nation presents works which productively and critically engage with the theme of national identity and associated topics and asks, in the space between global thinking and national belonging, what nation can still mean, or mean once again, today.
