»Episode 1: Rules of Attraction« is an attempt to approach the subject of beauty as a criterion of contemporary art. Facing a word that is almost a taboo in art discourse, the curators ask how "beautiful" an artwork could or even should be today.
The exhibition shows a selection of videos, sculptures, photographs and installations by seven international artists. Each of them reflects different positions of beauty, from a provocative seduction through to a behind-the-scenes revelation of illusion, always questioning the objectivity of the concept of aesthetics.
Participating artists:
Angelika Arendt (DE), Pauline Bastard (FR), Julian Charrière (CH), Vadim Fishkin (RU), Michael Kargl (AT), Sophia Pompéry (DE) and Tomáš Werner (SK).
Curators: Marie Graftieaux, Nora Mayr and Gilles Neiens
