"REAL LIFE... and how to live it"

"REAL LIFE… and how to live it" is an exhibition that critically examines the dynamics of security and insecurity and how they manifest through contemporary art practices. Integrating selections from the Baloise collection with newly produced works from Ahaad Alamoudi, Nooshin Askari, Noémie Degen/Simon Jaton, Jack O'Brien, and Hannah Weinberger, the show establishes a cross-generational and cultural discourse. It confronts the traditional confines of security beyond national contexts and repositions insecurity as a fundamental part of the human experience.

Drawing inspiration from the provocative work of Ross Sinclair from the Baloise collection, which boldly challenges viewers to "BURN YOUR PASSPORT" and "ANNIHILATE NATIONS," the exhibition confronts entrenched narratives and invites a new generation of artists to respond and create works that not only invite fresh perspectives but also serve as catalysts for an expansive discourse.
