ZURICH ART WEEKEND JUNE 7–9

“I am attracted to ellipsis, to the unsaid, to suggestion, to eloquent deliberate silence …”
Louise Glück in her 1995 essay „Disruption, Hesitation, Silence“

The group exhibition features work from artists in authoritarian and democratic countries and is a joint reflection on censorship and repressive mechanisms at play. It dwells on the issues of self-censorship, power dynamics and things we often don’t say or simply can’t.

The works on display in the exhibition speak of the aesthetic power of erasures, actively transforming them to take control over actions that could leave one feeling powerless. Through photography, textiles, video, poetry, paintings, and installations the artists turn these enforced silences and erasures into thought provoking, bold, artistic statements and offer space for public debate and intimate exchange.
