Curated by Arianna Gellini und Linda Jensen

12 June 2023 to 27 October 2023

Opening: Thursday, 15 June, 6 – 9 p.m.

Siren Songs / Sinister Sirens is an exhibition that explores language and how its use impacts us in resounding, counterintuitive and unruly ways. Language, in its potential to incite a sense of agency – explicitly or implicitly – is a force to be reckoned with. The exhibition brings together seven positions that engage with topics inherently and strongly connected to agency, such as action, power, ethics, social constructs, and morality through the use of language, be it textually, sculpturally, bodily, or symbolically.

With works by Mitchell Anderson, Nicole Bachmann, Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, Bruce Nauman, Marlene McCarty, Sam Porritt and Vittorio Santoro
