Wildnis
Wilderness
Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
01 November 2018 - 03 February 2019
The search for the last open spaces, the expedition as an artistic medium, and post-human visions of a world devoid of people characterize the works of many contemporary artists alongside the renegotiation of the relationship between individual and beast. With important pieces by some 30 artists – from Henri Rousseau to the present day – it not only sheds light on the phenomenon of the wilderness in terms of iconography, but also shows it as a principle and motor of artistic creative work. The “wilderness” has always also served as a projection surface for anything that was different and foreign, for the longing for a primordial life beyond the boundaries of civilization.
