The exhibition Soundtrack for a Troubled Time is curated by guest curators and the artistic directors of Tlön Projects, Chris Bestebreurtje and Petra Kuipers and takes its name from Cally Spooner’s two-channel sound installation. Works by Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Katinka Bock, Charbel-joseph H. Boutros & Stéphanie Saadé, Edith Dekyndt, Angela Detanico & Rafael Lain, Roni Horn and Cally Spooner will be on display in two complementary exhibition spaces that differ in size.
The exhibition moves into the field of collective unrest and the private desire to escape it, balancing between fiction and reality, looking for a comfortable position. A deeper awareness of the unseen interplay of natural forces that surround us is sparked. The artists suggest an antidote based on a new world or human view, they rewrite history in a more poetic narrative where humanism, art, poetry and beauty provide relief.
