Petition
Künstlerhaus Salzburg
Dec 14, 2019 – Jan 26, 2020
Opening: Friday, Dec 13, 2019, 8pm
The exhibition presents the works of nine artists and explores artistic action as an interface to a world where nature is both constructed as an idea and threatened in reality. Today, we might see the contemplation of art being shaped by our social, political and ecological conditions. This is most evident in art practices characterized by a desire for change. As dissimilar as a petition— which can turn out to be a pleading pamphlet, a raging complaint, or a simple determination of the facts—the artists’ concerns may articulate themselves as protest, documentation, contemplation, or even a magical ritual.
