Art as Connection

To open up different perspectives on these unusual times, the curatorial team of the Aargauer Kunsthaus is forming a collective with five artists to develop the exhibition jointly. Together they will reflect the rupture and shock of the crisis and its effects, discuss the significance of art and the structures of the art business, and try out an alternative form of curation. The open form of this project takes account of the uncertainty of our times. A multitude of themes – including isolation, mistrust, authority, globalisation, health, solidarity and community – suggest themselves for further examination in both the art works, most of them newly made and in discussions and events.
