We are delighted to present the exhibition "Rumors of Glory" from May 19 to July 16, 2017 with works from Feiko Beckers, Benedikte Bjerre, Johannes Büttner, FORT, Alwin Lay and Adrian Melis at the production and exhibition platform basis e.V. The opening is on May 18, 2017 at 7 pm.

The exhibition “Rumors of Glory” brings together works by international artists that all operate between the poles of implied anticipation and actual progression. The pieces on display trigger expectations, playfully directing them in certain directions, or negotiating their failure. Here, the seemingly familiar and the unequivocally known remain in a kind of muted domain of hearsay.

Our expectations are shaped by our experiences, by what we have learned and observed. At the same time, they are based on desire and a hope for a specific outcome. Whether they are fulfilled or not depends on external factors; whether they actually take place remains uncertain up until a particular point in time. But what happens if our expectations do not lead to tangible results? If they remain unfulfilled, or if our assumptions and the outcome fail to coincide?

“Rumors of Glory” presents both playful and critical positions that challenge our expectations and nudge us into a state of unyielding hope and trepidation.

Paticipating artists: Feiko Beckers, Benedikte Bjerre, Johannes Büttner, FORT, Alwin Lay, Adrian Melis

Die Ausstellung „Rumors of Glory“ vereint Werke internationaler Künstler_innen, die sich innerhalb des Spannungsfeldes von suggerierter Erwartung und tatsächlichem Fortgang bewegen. Die gezeigten Arbeiten rufen Erwartungen hervor, lenken sie spielerisch in bestimmte Richtungen oder verhandeln ihr Scheitern. Dabei verbleiben scheinbar Vertrautes, genauso wie eindeutige Erkenntnisse in einer Art des leisen Hörensagens.

Intro Text

Wir freuen uns vom 19. Mai bis 16. Juli 2017 die Ausstellung "Rumors of Glory" mit Arbeiten von Feiko Beckers, Benedikte Bjerre, Johannes Büttner, FORT, Alwin Lay und Adrian Melis zu präsentieren. Die Eröffnung findet am Donnerstag, den 18. Mai um 19 Uhr statt.

 

Text

 Unsere Erwartungen sind geprägt von unseren Erfahrungen, von dem was wir gelernt und beobachtet haben. Gleichzeitig liegt ihnen ein Begehren und eine Hoffnung auf einen bestimmten Ausgang zugrunde. Ob sie erfüllt werden oder nicht, hängt von äußeren Faktoren ab; ihr tatsächliches Eintreten bleibt bis zu einem bestimmten Punkt ungewiss. Doch was passiert, wenn unsere Erwartungen zu keinem Ergebnis führen? Wenn sie unerfüllt bleiben, oder unsere Annahmen und das Resultat nicht übereinstimmen?

„Rumors of Glory“ zeigt sowohl spielerische als auch kritische Positionen, die unsere Erwartungshaltungen herausfordern und uns in einen Zustand des unnachgiebigen Hoffens und Bangens versetzen.

Teilnehmende Künstler_innen: Feiko Beckers, Benedikte Bjerre, Johannes Büttner, FORT, Alwin Lay, Adrian Melis
