The exhibition “In the Middle of Affairs” presents works, projects and documents, which share an interest in forms of distribution and alternative fields of activities for artistic practice, and investigates them as an inherent part of the production of meaning and value. The works in the exhibition consciously relate to the language of design and advertising, operate in commercial media and adopt or reflect its methods and techniques. <\/p>\n

A series of works from the last 30 years, by artist Louise Lawler and the agency Readymades Belong to Everyone for example, are presented as historical points of reference, as well as a collection of archival material from the Paris-based collector Ghislain Mollet-Vi\u00e9ville. New works, partially produced specifically for the exhibition, continue and re-adjust the investigation about distribution and self-positioning. <\/p>\n

“In the Middle of Affairs” is not only the title of the exhibition, but also describes its working method, in which one’s own involvement determines the viewing direction to enable a research in proximity of its subject. The exhibition, which has been developed together with the curator Egija Inzule and the artist Tobias Kaspar, combines different approaches and documents into a fragmentary “narrative” with changing perspective.<\/p>\n
