Exhibition Future Reflections
Future Reflections is an exhibition that engages with the proposition of reflecting on the future as a conceptual exploration. The title itself contains a linguistic paradox: Reflection requires an engagement with the past, while Future envisions what lies ahead.
This tension, which forms the nucleus of the exhibition, raises questions about responsibility, medical progress, consumption, and technology: What happens in the next moment? Can we anticipate and (positively) influence the future in the present – or are we left only with retrospective reflection on the now?
Works from the Baloise Collection by Elise Corpataux, Candida Höfer, Geert Goiris, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Paula Santomé and Jeff Wall enter into dialogue with invited artists such as Jiajia Zhang and Louisa Gagliardi. The exhibition is further enriched through performances by Lux Valladolid and as well as by Olga Hohmann, who presents her first sound installation in collaboration with Courtesy.
The exhibited artworks share a common thread: they search for something indeterminate – perhaps a feeling – and reflect a vision or a form of longing. Through their shimmering, reflective, or metallic materials, the works mirror one another as well as the viewer — along with their desires, memories, and projections over time. Time is often understood in art and cultural history as the fourth dimension – an extension of space into a transcendent reality that reaches beyond the visible and opens up a new perspective on time, and form.
Future Reflections invites visitors to become aware of this interplay between present and future and to reflect on their own role over the course of time.
