Descripción de la Exposición

Artists: Carlos Vergara / Flavya Mutran / Hanna Hennenkemper / Helena Kanaan / Hélio Fervenza / Marcelo Chardosim / Olaf Holzapfel / Ottjörg A.C. / Rafael Pagatini / Regina Silveira / Vera Chaves Barcellos / Thomas Kilpper / Tim Berresheim / Xadalu The Power of Multiplication: From pre- to post-digital reproductive art or from etching via Xerox to VR in Southern Brazil and Germany is an artistic and art theoretical contribution to the discourse on the question of reproducibility today. The exhibition by the Goethe-Institut presents and mediates 14 contemporary artists from Southern Brazil and Germany and is curated by Gregor Jansen, director of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. Visitors to the exhibition experience art as a positive constituent of society. In times of economic crises, as currently in many South American countries, culture and especially art play an important role. Art can counteract the worldwide growing tendency towards polarization. Anti-elitist and socio-critical art is particularly suitable to overcome this split. A South American studio network maintains the manifold traditions of printmaking and updates them by supporting international contacts and facilitating new techniques.
