Special notes: In his new exhibition ‘Gottweißwo’, Berlin-based artist Martin Assig explores the many challenges facing the people of our time: the brute force of the new wars that have broken out and the hesitation in the face of the threats posed by climate change tarnish the image of this generation.
You can feel the burden that Assig's painted figures have to bear: Kneeling and sitting, amputated and fragmented, like descendants of the Last Generation glued to the floor, the seekers align themselves towards the altar, raising their hands in prayer. But where to? To God? To helplessness in the face of the larger-than-life questions of our time? For Martin Assig, despite everything, they are figures of hope, saints of our time, who are prepared to bear burdens, passionately orientate themselves beyond the horizon.
