Spiele mit der Ewigkeit

About

Since prehistoric times people have dealt with the question of eternity, addressing the phenomena of time and eternal life.

This search is present in the exhibition. The works ask for what could be and what could happen, even besides our limits of perception. Their artistic strategies are based on everyday observations, on collecting scientific data, on traditions and rituals. The exponates revolve around visibility and invisibility, flirting with the ephemeral, and strive for eternal art, following their playful impulse: towards infinity and eternity.

The exhibition opens with the performance "Pathologies of the Image" by Andrés Galeano. As in a requiem, two sopranos (Vannessa Lanch & Anastasia Nikolova) rhyme and sing about physical dangers that artworks are exposed to, about pollutants, pests or climatic conditions. The song deals with the mortality of artworks, at the same time emphasizing their immateriality and plays with the ephemeral in art, which seems to be transient in every moment and yet claims its eternity. 

The exhibition has been made possible with kind support by Arts Council Korea.
