Vertigo of Reality- and the metabolic office for the repair of reality

“Vertigo of Reality” examines the construction and deconstruction of reality in the arts. The exhibition presents artistic strategies and methods of working which focus on the viewer´s perception. The artwork materialises only in and through the viewers themselves. Current developments in game art here stand within a tradition of artistic explorations beginning in the 1960s, in particular closed circuit video installations, as well as performances, participation projects, films, photographs, and mirror objects.

Artists: On view are works by Marina Abramović, Alexander Bruce, Peter Campus, Thomas Demand, Olafur Eliasson, Christian Falsnaes, Harun Farocki, Hamish Fulton, Jochen Gerz, Dan Graham, gold extra, Richard Kriesche, Bjørn Melhus, Bruce Nauman, Julian Oliver / Danja Vasiliev, Trevor Paglen, Paidia Institute, Nam June Paik, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Tino Sehgal, and Tale of Tales among others.
