Contrology
Group exhibition
22.05.21 – 18.07.21
The group exhibition Contrology brings together works by eleven contemporary artists that are dedicated to phenomena related to systems of control for body and mind. In an external world perceived as over-controlled and uncontrollable, the human body functions as a marketing surface and performance is demanded 24/7. At the same time, the required cultivation of the body does not seem to be possible without the disciplining of the mind. The 'right’ posture and the ‘right’ attitude counts! Originally invented by fitness trainer Joseph Pilates as a description for his set of rules for muscle control, Contrology in the exhibition explores an expanded field of both physical and mental forms and techniques on the path to (controlled) happiness.
