This exhibition is in collaboration with A/POLITICAL
From March 8 to June 15, 2025.
Official opening: March 7, 2025.
A protest and celebration in one. It is a defiant celebration of the power of art to subvert our expectations, to inspire, heal, excite, confuse, disrupt and challenge. At the same time, it is an uncompromising protest against the glitz and glamour of an art market that reduces the value of art to mere finance.
Curator Kendell Geers was persecuted as an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa in the 1980s and has lived in exile as a political refugee ever since. As a result, he has a direct understanding of the painful overlap between art and politics. Geers gained international recognition early on, participating in the Johannesburg Biennial in 1997 and Documenta 11 in 2002, among others.
