From Dawn till DusK
The exhibition questions the Shadow in Contemporary Art
Based on around 40 international positions, the exhibition traces for the first time in a German museum the emancipation of the shadow as an image-producing, yet always media-reflexive theme within contemporary art. It examines the spectrum of shadow worlds, ranging from the existential to the threatening to the political. The shadow is where the absent and the present meet. It symbolically and immaterially refers to the existence of the material world and at the same time also contains its extinction. It belongs to the body, from which it is at the same time always at a distance. It is a trace that, like photography, functions as an index and at the same time is a projection surface that claims its own reality. In this context, the shadow can be read on the one hand as a metaphor for the crisis of the subject, but also as an important indicator of a reality beyond the superficially visible.
Engagées
The Villa Datris Foundation invites to discover the work of 64 committed women artists from around the world, showcasing works that question major contemporary issues. Feminists, ecofeminists, human rights advocates, activists against racism, and champions of bodily autonomy, the selected artists are deeply engaged in ongoing, essential struggles.
The exhibition highlights the invisibilization of women and the persistence of their battles, reminding us how crucial it is to protect hard-won rights. ENGAGÉES also aims to raise awareness where many fights are still to be fought.
