The exhibition Not Afraid of Art presents seven artistic positions that deal with the themes of power and fear in art. Anastasia Sosunova recomposes the destroyed parts of former underground publishers’ printing machines together with the plates of some anti-Soviet and religious books that circulated before 1990. With her bare hands, Kanitha Tith weaves steel wire into organic forms with loose ends, freeing herself from expectations of content or completion. Isaac Zavale’s drawings tell the story of an assault in Johannesburg on a young man from the townships. Buket Isgören’s works are characterized by the persistence and perseverance with which she conveys the images in her head. Žiga Sever opens his personal notebooks to show how he overcame fears for interacting with artists. Barış Doğrusöz’s installation Interstices, a dizzying array of combinations will continue to be on view at Studio ADKDW.
Two interventions will be presented outside the ADKDW studio: The commissioned work How the Leopard got his claws by Yussif Musah at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum until 01 12 2024 and Asithukanga by Isaac Zavale until 01 09 2024 in the showcases of the UNG-5, at the Ebertplatz subway station.
