Text by Şehnaz Layıkel Prange on the exhibition:
What does “The Good Life” mean in our world today? The title itself already contains in itself that we are searching for something different. This is followed by the questions: Is “The Good Life” an imaginary utopia or is it a realistic possibility? Is the contemplation of this concept alone sufficient? How do the ideas of a “Good Life” relate to their attempts at implementation? Is “The Good Life” really a single “Good Life” or should we speak of a good life in the plural?
Perhaps these are the questions that resonate with our great need, in this time of turbulence and existential fears, on multiple levels.
“The Good Life”: Utopias for Eye, Ear, Nose, Mind is a group exhibition based on six artistic positions: Tom Albrecht, Thomas Behling, Lioba von den Driesch, Mariel Gottwick, Stephan Gross, Maria Korporal. In this exhibition, each artist interprets the concept of the “good life” from a different perspective.
Referring to different contents of a “Good Life”, ranging from feelings to ecology, the artists simultaneously propose and question individual and collective solutions. In other words, they question existing trends and existing methods of healing, while at the same time proposing new ways of perceiving and dealing with problems in today’s world.
Through its multimedia nature, the exhibition appeals to all the senses. One encounters playful interventions as well as solution-oriented proposals of the artists in different forms, such as object, image, audio, installation and video.
Group Global 3000 invites you to the exhibition “The Good Life”, utopias for eye, ear, nose and mind.
In the context of the exhibition, various events will take place in which experts and the artists will discuss the topic from different perspectives together with the guests.
