Inspired by the shapes, shades and stories of the moon, the exhibition explores on social utopias and their potential to be shifted, overwritten, and renewed. In “zero is the moon”, the works by nine artists use personal or experienced references to reveal social contradictions and glitches, from which an overarching critique develops: they reflect on the durability and endurance of formative social ideas, break with normative traditions and create new hybridized and fictionalized stories or aesthetics – partly with and around the myth of the moon and its power for a new departure.

Participants: Stella Dragovic, Maria Fabricius-Wendt, Saskia Fischer, Nschotschi Haslinger, Mira Mann, Passion Asasu, Fion Pellacini, Anna Raczynska, Vivien Sorrentino
