As the title indicates, the exhibition revolves around different terms of engagement and involvement–be it artistic, sexual or political–often focusing on what is left unsaid. The great diversity of the artists and projects display concepts of what it means to affect, include, contain or comprehend in today’s world, with very different aesthetic and intended ends. Often evasive, the art here is about being involved on different levels. The complexity and contradictory perspectives thwart a one-dimensional and ideological treatment of the subject matter, keeping it open. The first exhibition at H-Space with both Chinese and foreign artists, this exhibition is curated by Philippe Pirotte, Director of Kunsthalle Bern.
