Curator Eleonora Ronnmark, Georgie Pope

On the occasion of their residency at Trauma Bar und Kino, The Fairest (Eleonora Ronnmark and Georgie Pope) present Falling off the Face of Earth, a group exhibition that explores how a collective sense of excavation permeates contemporary art and performance. From existential angst to oversaturated self-perception, from media overstimulation to a seemingly dissolving world, each artist grapples with a variety of topical issues that are transforming our present. By bringing them together, Falling off the Face of the Earth attempts to create a structure of emotion. If this collective suffocation stifles any language before it can be articulated, a new generation of young artists conjures a visual language to unravel our sense of the now. They eschew the blind ignorance of truth-telling narratives in favor of a polyphonic chorus of situated voices that collectively echo the question of what it means to live today.

Falling off the Face of the Earth not only brings together the seven exhibiting artists and artist duos, but also specific live acts and performances that create a dialogue between live art, visual Art and club culture. As both Trauma Bar and Kino and The Fairest seek to promote experimental practices, events range from live music to poetic concerts, from sound healing sessions to performance art. Together, they complement the exhibition in its goal of creating an immersive, emotional space, where subjectivities can be negotiated. Here, states of being are not fixed, but are permeable, not predetermined, but aggregated, where viewer and actor enter into a synthesis.

The exhibition will present artwork by Bianca Hlywa, EXPAT ( Mykki Blanco & Samuel Acevedo), George Jasper Stone, Lauriane Daphne Carl, Shamiran Istifan, Suzannah Pettigrew, Theodolus Polyviou.
