GROUP EXHIBITION

Sensory Tales features a line-up of artists from different generations, backgrounds and geographies whose practices share a nuanced and transformative treatment of their chosen media challenging us to reconsider how we read and understand facets of reality and identity.

The works enter into conversation on many levels as artists come from different political, sociocultural and economic contexts. They have each developed an expansive visual vocabulary that might involve or be inspired by textual experiments, poetry or fiction. Their art-based inquiries often connect to critique of dominant ideas around gender fluidity, desire, sensuality as well as implicit and explicit violence or misuse of power. The dominating genre of the exhibition is paper based work but the selection includes crafted objects, sculptures and costumes. Though the pieces and series presented employ various strategies they each embody a commitment to continually challenge our ways to question existing systems of meaning and understanding knowledge.

Exhibiting artists: Johanna Calle, Gideon Horváth, Tamás Kaszás, Dóra Maurer, Aliza Orlan, Mithu Sen, Katarina Šević, Dominika Trapp.
