Exhibition summary
An authorial exhibition by Czech artist Daniel Pešta, titled 'Levitation', presented at the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus / Museum of Modern Art Osnabrück.

Curatorial context
The exhibition 'Daniel Pešta: Levitation', held from September 17 to November 27, 2011, at the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus / Museum of Modern Art Osnabrück, showcases the multifaceted work of Czech artist Daniel Pešta. The exhibition spans paintings, spatial and suspended objects, video art, and conceptual creations, thoughtfully integrated into both the historical and new premises of the museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind.
Pešta's project is conceived as a 'three-way dialogue,' engaging not only with the museum's namesake, Jewish painter Felix Nussbaum, but also with architect Daniel Libeskind. The exhibition delves into profound themes common to both Pešta and Nussbaum, such as collective conscience, injustice, crime, the abuse of power, and the rise of totalitarian trends. Pešta also touches upon contemporary issues like the misuse of scientific discoveries, genetic manipulation, the individual's place in a globalized information system, and the potential ascendancy of technology over humanity. The concept is rigorously designed for the given space, merging with its genius loci, and includes significant works such as large pictures (Angel for Felix Nussbaum, Piety and Meat) and a spatial installation of embossed faces titled 'Levitation'. A neon work on the building's front elevation serves as a link between the old and new parts of the museum.
