Direktorinnenführung durch die Ausstellung "forms of the surrounding futures" mit Merle Radtke

In the organizer's words:

forms of the surrounding futures responds to the current state of permanent crisis by embodying and celebrating plural narratives beyond a normative dominance for a tomorrow in the exhibited works and the performances. In doing so, the exhibition bypasses prevailing paradigms that uphold the status quo and anticipate possible futures in order to understand our present time as a moment of transformation full of potentiality. An expanded concept of "queer" forms the starting point to question the prevailing paradigms and power structures and to rethink and reshape the construction of bodies, spaces and times.

With the adaptation of GIBCA 2023 (Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art), Kunsthalle Münster takes up narratives that use the collective ability to imagine and rehearse future worlds through the works of international artists such as Rodrigo Hernández, Agnė Jokšė, Tarik Kiswanson, Esse McChesney, Rasmus Myrup, Ania Nowak, Luiz Roque and Ana Vaz: Dreams, community-building practices, vulnerability and desire serve as starting points for reinventing the potential as well as the limits of body and language.

In the guided tour, Merle Radtke provides insights into the works of Rodrigo Hernández, Agnė Jokšė, Tarik Kiswanson, Esse McChesney, Rasmus Myrup, Ania Nowak, Luiz Roque and Ana Vaz.
