IRRITATION – a maximum aesthetic confusion is the 3rd part of the joint multimedia exhibition by artists living in Switzerland and Berlin with the generic term “Irritation”. In the previous exhibition at VEBIKUS Kunsthalle Schaffhausen, subtitled “The Art of getting lost”, the focus was on socio-political and socio-critical themes of current developments, where “Irritation…” was thought of in more concrete terms.
In Berlin, the idea of creative disorder and its resulting possibilities for social transformation processes is taken as a starting point. With the credo: art is a daughter of freedom. Only error is life… (loosely based on Schiller), in the sense of confusion, aberration, irritation as a concept of rediscovery through uncertainty, confusion, confusion, excitement.
The concept envisages a dialogue between 10 Swiss positions and 10 German artists, curated in cooperation with VEBIKUS Kunsthalle Schaffhausen and FATart Schaffhausen.
Idea and overall concept: Simone Kornfeld.
A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition.
In this exhibition Maria Korporal shows her AR installation QAT QUBE – Is Schrödinger’s Cat Dead or Alive?.
