ROASTED PIGEONS or ART LEFT WORK
.
What is the relationship between art and critique? According to philosopher Robert Pippin, we are trappend in a historical dilemma since the historic failure of the global revolution in the early 20th century. Theory has not yet been able to fully comprehend this problem. Pippin claims that art might have the potential to bring the most fundamental social contradictions to the surface, and thus uncover new possibilities for theory. This also means that art needs a corresponding critique to unfold its very potential. But is this mutual relationship still up to date? Is current theory able to gain insight from works of art? And if so: is there contemporary art that enables such prospects? And what does such art look like?
.
“ROASTED PIGEONS or ART LEFT WORK“ seeks to prompt discussion about these questions. Seven authors were invited to write on a series of selected artworks that can be considered revealing with regards to the historical situation of contemporary society. The exhibition presents six so far unreleased critiques as well as the respective artworks. It is a follow-up to “Die gute Schaufel” (2022) and “I say a Flower” (2023) and thus part of a series that constitutes an attempt of self-criticism of contemporary art. It pursues the fundamental questioning of the common sense prevailing in the current art world as well as in its predominant manifestations.
