Cold as Ice. Kälte in Kunst und Gesellschaft / Coldness in Art and Society

Beschreibung

Coldness is understood as low temperatures outside as well as emotionlessness, missing empathy, and a lack of solidarity. In this context, coldness can become a means of artistic expression for depicting and criticizing social conditions. Warmth is a fundamental human need, the prerequisite for health and well-being. Its absence has devastating consequences: a lack of social cohesion, increasing alienation, states of indifference and loneliness, acts of violence. Cold as Ice presents artistic images of an ever-cooling social climate, bringing together works that address (politically) frosty times, but also evoke resistance and the counter-image of change and solidarity. Text: Ingo Clauß, Janneke de Vries. Interviews mit Bunny Rogers und Kirsten Justesen.
