Event Horizon
Staedtische Kunsthalle Lothringer13, Munich
Focus on the Infinite. The exhibition event horizon at lothringer13/halle presents current perspectives dealing with landscape as a medium for formal experiments and social statements. The long tradition of landscape representation in art as well as its construction and use in different types of mass media provoked a genereation of young artists to a differentiated analysis. These young artists do not choose mere documentation as their mode of expression, but engage in the staging of fictional events.
Focus on the Infinite
The exhibition event horizon at lothringer13/halle presents current perspectives dealing with landscape as a medium for formal experiments and social statements. The long tradition of landscape representation in art as well as its construction and use in different types of mass media provoked a genereation of young artists to a differentiated analysis. These young artists do not choose mere documentation as their mode of expression, but engage in the staging of fictional events.
The landscape motif is understood as an experimental ground, on which medial and formal changes, as well as innovative concepts of art can be tested under ideal conditions. The artists participating in this exhibition create event horizons with found objects from digital imagery, and work with photography, painting, and installations, with video- and computer technique. Their transformation of artistic categories is tied to a new discourse on our technological and political environment. The artists react to the destruction of space through increased mobility and telecommunication, to the abstraction of acts of war, as well as to the landscape as an image of resistance against the civilizing status quo, which at the same time is used as a means of econimical interest and the formation of political idenity.
