Matthias Krause works in cooperation with Philipp Ackermann and Paul Philipp Heinze.

Every step is a step on the stage. A performative circle dance of intentional and unintentional rocailles runs its course. Critical observation of living and working conditions as a protagonist in the art context, hence the mirroring of present connections and self-standards takes center stage. Roles will be reflected. The economic-materialistic contingency of the context in which we move will be forced into the light. Strategies for the production of meaning, which always reflect the present power constellations, and the successful self-performance become remnants of the production of intrinsic value. The inherently paradoxical concept is an expression of a pseudotherapeutic approach.

The exhibition is supported by IFA, Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen e.V., Stuttgart.
