Um-Kehrungen

Karl Kraus saw art as a way to create an abstraction of the world in order to see it concretely. Um-Kehrungen (Reversals) takes up this idea and presents the strategies of young artists who approach the world we encounter on a daily basis from the most concrete viewpoint possible, i.e. ones own range of personal experience. The explicit personal carries the general. Um-Kehrungen focuses on an artistic approach that investigates the atmospheric element of the apparently trite. Following Krauss idea, however, it is the personal approach of these young artists that inverts our view of the familiar and changes our perspective so as to create the world anew – based on the commonplace, on the world that already exists.
