Du sollst dir ein Bild machen

Zusatztext

The exhibition Du sollst dir ein Bild machen [You Shall Make for Yourself an Image] tells of the imaginative power of the religious experience, its visual counterpart in the tradition of Christian imagery, and how these are interpretated by contemporary artists. The exhibitions focus is on works by artists who approach Christian iconography from critical, but also from loving, humorous, and feminist perspectives, thus enabling new, contemporary viewpoints of motifs that have been handed down across centuries. The concept and direction the exhibition takes does not seek to create superficial provocation or loud protest, choosing to take a more differentiated approach, searching for commonalities and striving to promote dialogue between contemporary art and religion.
