Setup of Our New Exhibition

From 7 February 2025, the new exhibition entitled Love, Maybe. Intimacy and Desire in Contemporary Art, will be on display in the BlackBox and, for the first time, in the BlackBox FirstFloor of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung. The title is based on a poem by the African-American writer Audre Lorde from 1970.

Love, Maybe is dedicated to the possibilities and challenges of visualising love in contemporary art. The group exhibition shows around 240 photographs, multimedia installations and five large sculptural works using the medium of glass by a total of 24 international artists from 13 countries. It is divided into four chapters which address intimacy, regimes of the gaze, care and queerness. The colourful staging of the exhibition is based on the feeling of closeness and security.

A richly illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibiton published by Distanz-Verlag Munich with a foreword by Dr. Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek, an essay by exhibition curator Dr. Jana Johanna Haeckel, a text by journalist and writer Minna Salami and a conversation between the artist Paul Mpagi Sepuya and the curator.
