Exhibition

Art in times of unreason

The exhibition at the Kolumba Museum addresses the challenging question of how art can make a substantial contribution in today's world. In a time marked by the pandemic and social upheavals, the exhibition questions the role of culture as a system-relevant force in a democracy. Quotes by Joseph Beuys, such as "Everyone is an artist," form the conceptual core and call for making secrets productive.

The exhibition illuminates the balance between individual destinies and global mechanisms and offers space for reflection on the potentials of utopia and the power of reason. Art becomes a medium of engagement with the pain points of the present as well as a catalyst for freedom of thought and spiritual experience.
