Part 1
The first part will be defined by a set-like character.
Topic of part 1: the developments in our culture since the early nineties.
The following aspects will be addressed by the artists' contributions in this setting:
the idea of living in a global culture, be available communication-neuroses, the bubble-economy, up-speeding, logoculture.
Connecting the superfluity culture with the actual situation in our culture: stagnation, lethargy and being-superfluous.
The folllowing artists will participate:
Hans Op de Beeck, Brussels | Christoph Büchel, Basel | collectif_fact, Geneva | Diller & Scofidio, New York |
JODI, Barcelona l Marije Langelaar, Arnhem | Euan Macdonald, CND/ Los Angeles | Aernout Mik, Amsterdam | Nicolas Moulin, Paris |

Part 2
functions as a transitional space and can be seen as making the senses more acute (between Part 1 and Part 2).
The Berlin artist Catrin Otto will set up a large, low-sound space. This space, which partly absorbs noises, moves between
feeling clinical or being a »place for thorough disorientation«. But from a curatorial point of view it is also a passage
that makes the senses more acute for Part 3 and prepares people for the great silence.

Susanne Weirich is mounting a multi-media presentation in the neighbouring space and Marc Bauer will also show one of his works.

Part 3
In Part 3 the works become part of a black box. Here timelessness, poetry and visual beauty are to the fore.
These spaces contrast starkly with the flood of images that characterize Part 1.
Part 3 can be seen as a kind of time-out space; it deals with spaces in which people can lose themselves, that stimulate concentration,
that (are intended) to function as a mental filling station.
