Text
The exhibit Curating War deals with the question of how war is organized and which forms can be used to display the relationship between art and war in a political exhibit format. The topics discussed within this format are art and the process of (not) coming to terms with war, as well as the relationship between arms trade and production and art institutions. The exhibit also pursues the question of “what to do?” when an exhibit space (in) directly supports continuities of war policies and censors or disqualifies pieces. Which connections can be made between censorship in art institutions and the continuities of war? Proceeding from this critique of institutions, a collective and social memory is brought into relation to art. Can art also be considered a social and collective memory? In artistic pieces and round table talks, the exhibit will discuss how historically meaningful spaces, which have been destroyed by war policies, and associated, contradictory politics of memory can be conveyed.
