'Topsy Turvy'
With e.g.: Matthew Barney, Maja Borg, Spartacus Chetwynd, Melanie Bonajo, Discoteca Flaming Star, James Ensor, Melanie Gilligan, Adriana Lara, David Lloyd, Urs Lüthi, Philip Metten, Alberto de Michele, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Helio Oiticica, Ugo Rondinone, Markus Selg, Berend Strik, Toshie Takeuchi, Eric de Vroedt, Niko de Wit, Tori Wrånes.
The first exhibition in the new premises is based on the popular carnival festival. In addition to being a period of excess before the austerity of Lent, carnival is a time in which the world is temporarily turned upside down in a collective masquerade. The existing balance of power, codes of conduct and values are thrown overboard and satire reigns supreme. Socio-political commentary and criticism go hand-in-hand with an exuberant party atmosphere. Everything and everyone temporarily assumes a different identity and everyday reality is seen from a different perspective.
