This project is not a workshop for aspiring young politicians…
What is reminiscent of a yoga exercise at first glance is actually an artistic motif: the backbend. Works of art from the last 100 years or so from different contexts show the variety of expressive possibilities inherent in the pose. The exhibition illuminates the art-historical roots of the motif as well as current developments in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, as well as video and performance art.
