Ausgeträumt…: A Group Exhibition Examining Contemporary Disillusionment at Secession

This group exhibition, 'Ausgeträumt…' (Dreaming Over…), examined a contemporary disillusionment and resignation concerning social and political realities in Europe. It explored how hopes for a better future, fueled by capitalism, media, and technology, were challenged by political realities, nationalism, and fundamentalism.

The exhibition 'Ausgeträumt…' (Dreaming Over…) sought to address a pervasive contemporary mood of disillusionment and resignation as perceived through the lens of social and political realities across Europe. It recognized that the initial post-Cold War optimism, fueled by promises of economic prosperity and democratic expansion, had been eroded by the realities of war, globalized economies, and resurgent nationalisms and fundamentalisms. The exhibition's extensive text delves into the perceived shortcomings of traditional democratic models in the face of global capitalism and neoliberalism. It discusses how the market has come to dominate societal action, turning politics into a spectacle of image creation rather than substantive decision-making. Against this backdrop, and in resonance with the Secession's historical programmatic context of breaking with the past and formulating future visions, 'Ausgeträumt…' brought together international artistic positions. These artists preserved skepticism, questioned ideological and economic mechanisms, discussed utopia as an integral component of art, and explored the development of new modes of imagining.
