Ich gab mir Mühe, damit ich nicht an Unlust früh verglühe

An exhibition with works by Julien Prévieux (F), Tilo Steireif (CH), Laura von Niederhäusern (CH), Eva May (DK).

The exhibition was inspired by the writings of Robert Walser (Swiss, 1878-1956), and take up his central themes of work, pleasure and subjectification between heteronomy and self-determination in the context of today. It deals with topics like the reluctance to submit one's self to contemporary society's demands of efficiency and self-promotion, and the search for a subject position that is not subsumed under those demands. At the opening we will present the artist publication “À propos Das Stellengesuch, first edition, 1914/2015” by Laura von Niederhäusern & Eva May, published by Les Éditions d’Uqbar & Gitte Bohr.
