The exhibition brings together artistic positions that use the body as a concrete tool to create narratives and images that defy clear categorisation in an existing system established by a “dominant view” (of whatever kind). With Claudia Holzinger, Leon Höllhumer, Kai Kuss, Xenia Lesniewski, Daniel Rajcsanyi, Sophia Süßmilch and Sarah Tasha, contemporary artists have been invited who use their respective artistic practices as a strategic means of symbolic and explicit self-assertion and in this way resolutely oppose the patriarchal reason that is still with us today from the Enlightenment with its trail of suffering from the excluded, split off, marginalised, destroyed and repressed.
The selected artistic positions discuss social norms, constraints and stereotypes, explore individual and collective identities and look at forms of oppression. They create alternative perspectives on existing value systems, question traditional narratives, and thus fulfil a cultural protective function that could find its counterpart in the biological nature of antibodies.
