Mit Karacho durch die Nacht - Lunita July Dorn
The featured artists from different backgrounds, graduates of art schools and academies, belong to a generation for whom classifications according to art movements and nationalities, painting schools and styles only play a subordinate role, moving freely between abstraction and figuration.
Generational divisions often appear artificial and have been rightly criticized because they are primarily based on the social situations of western industrialized countries and the socio-cultural framework conditions of young people, for example. B. neglected in the global south.
But the generation concept of the sociologist Karl Mannheim (1893-1947) takes on new relevance with the so-called Generation Z:
She is the first to grow up with the Internet and to be influenced by it worldwide. The mental lifeworlds of 'homo digitalis' are becoming more and more similar to one another and are reproducing each other through the increasing use of the same algorithms, cyberspaces, AI and robotics.
This development has long occupied and influenced the arts and art theory, where analog art practices and techniques appear in a new light today, and painting becomes a place of retreat and autonomous self-determination.
In this way, the audience can also understand the works on display as evidence of a new resilience and resistance to a world of digital appropriation, the media of which the artists playfully use in their research and at the same time refuse in the act of painting.
The exhibition is curated by Dr. Dietmar Peikert and Michael M. Thoss
The exhibition is open every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m
Admission 8 euros, reduced price 5 euros
