The Opposite of Now
Artistic Paths to a Different Present – Exhibition Preview
To mark its 25th anniversary, the Jewish Museum Berlin is inviting its audience to move on from the present while encountering 12 artistic projects, and to search for approaches that can change society. The projects will be developed specially for the exhibition and aim to encourage the public to engage with an often oppressive present in order to counter it with their own ideas.
The perspective of the Jewish minority, which has had to endure many insufferable presents throughout its history, is one of the starting points for The Opposite of Now. The exhibition calls for a turnaround, an opposite, a better life for all.
With Yael Bartana, Andrea Büttner, Chto Delat, Arnold Dreyblatt, William Forsythe, Dana Kavelina, Alexander Kluge, Daniel Laufer, Dor Zlehka Levy, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Alona Rodeh, Eran Schaerf.
