«Fake news» and «alternative facts» have changed the way we see the world and interpret the news. Never before has false information so closely approximated the truth and so changed our perception of the world. Refugee crises, asylum policy, ecological disasters, trade wars ... Every day we are confronted with news and images of human, social, and political catastrophes—filtered in various ways by new fast forms of communication as well as traditional media.
The perspective of artists on current events opens up a different, profound view of our world. The group exhibition The Humans explores how artists formulate their independent views of the world and how they immerse themselves in realities that are inaccessible to traditional media. In addition to the role of our consumption of digital media, the participating artists also shed light on questions about how we deal with people on the margins of society and our attitude toward global migrations.
Participating artists: Francesco Arena, Ed Atkins – Simon Thompson, Rosella Biscotti, Candice Breitz, Daniela Ortiz, Artur Zmijewski
