Guided tour of the "On Rehabilitation of Domination and Domain" exhibition
You are kindly invited to attend the guided tour with the artist, Yoshinori Niwa and the curator, Jani Pirnat.
According to the Japanese artist, performer and activist Yoshinori Niwa, a certain “rehabilitation” of the relationship between history as domain (something that belongs to us) and the predominant public historical narrative (which utilises culture, education, politics, the law, communication etc. to shape our current historical position), is necessary. As Niwa puts it, the power relations between these positions of domain and domination are somehow ill and in need of rehabilitation.
The exhibition is a topical overview of the projects of Yoshinori Niwa within the triangle of money-politics-ecology, which also characterises the artist's performative social interactions in public space. Niwa often voluntarily exposes himself to unusual or unproductive social situations to cast light on their perceived normality, emptiness and the absurdity of established systems and identities.
The guided tour will be held in English.
