From May 21 to July 31, 2005, Württembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart is presenting the first exhibition in the two-year project “On Difference” initiated by the two new directors Iris Dressler and Hans D. Christ.

Between 2005 and 2006, in two exhibitions, film programmes, workshops and series of lectures, “On Difference” will focus on the local contexts and networked spaces of action of contemporary art – particularly in so called “non-western” cultures. At several different levels, “On Difference” sets out to reflect on artistic productions from Eastern Europe, Asia or South America against the background of specific local and trans-local contexts.

“On Difference #1. Local Contexts – Hybrid Spaces“ spotlights the open network structures and communication formats of contemporary art – Internet fora, magazines, archives, etc. – and on the other hand a related critical art practice that takes a stance on political and societal developments.

The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the artists Dan and Lia Perjovschi (Bucharest), Ciprian Muresan (Cluj), Zoran Pantelic (Novi Sad), Daniel García Andújar (Valencia), Babak Afrassiabi and Nasrin Tabatabai (Rotterdam/Tehran), Lucien Samaha (New York/Beirut), and the curator Stefan Tiron (Bucharest).

The artists and co-curators were invited to investigate a concrete specific local situation and its trans-local conditions on the basis of their own networks. Their contributions will be showcased in the exhibition in the form of “case studies” comprising not only their own works but also works by other artists and documentary material. The result is an exhibition featuring more than 40 artistic positions revolving around the political, social and economic implications of urban development, new technologies, and the culture industry.

Opening: Friday, May 20 2005, 7 pm
Symposium: May 21 - 22, 2005
