Ausstellungsankündigung
Appropriately for the port city of Trieste, the exhibition at MLZ Art Dep is conceived as a nearly Odyssean journey. In its course, one can encounter ignes fatui – the flickering lights that deceive travelers in the middle of the night; one can also hear the sound of a glacier, board a crystal spaceship or experience the reverberation of the inner Earth. The artists who accompany the audience on the journey, however, do not quite resemble the Odysseus of the Homeric epics. Navigating a world of inhuman entities, they do not strive to neutralise them. Rather, they record their eerie voices and, in harmony with them, sketch out itineraries for future sailors. With work by Tania Candiani, Nikolaus Gansterer, Caterina Gobbi, Suzanne Treister, Marcin Zawicki. Curated by Goschka Gawlik & Arkadiusz Półtorak.
