Gallery Two:

ALPTRAUM

January 18 — March 14, 2020

Alptraum (nightmare), a wandering exhibition of 2D works by 200+ artists, from 21+ countries. Originally conceived and organized by Marcus Sendlinger (Germany) in 2010, the 17th iteration of Alptraum was co-curated by TAM.

Alptraum, German for nightmare, is an artist led project. It is a model which utilizes global communication between localized artist-hubs and clusters to form an international grouping with the intent of opening a dialog across borders and cultures in order to delve into collectively shared, completely random and unrelated or individually specific ideas of ‘The Nightmare’.

The title was inspired by the paintings of the Swiss artist Johann-Heinrich Füssli (1741 Zurich - 1825 London) who painted different versions of Incubus (Nachtmahr). Inspired by ghost stories, Füssli made the world of dreams and visions the subject of his paintings. This exhibition reflects on various artistic, social and cultural circumstances individually concerning nightmares - and each artists’ interpretation or reflection in drawing, collage, photography or works on paper.

The 200+ artists invited to contribute to this exhibition have been asked to only submit works which they have had a direct hand in creating, so physical contact and mark making on the surface of the material is implied in a manner akin to the scryer, an ‘automatic writer’, a pyromancer’s stirring of the hot embers, an ectoplasmic medium – the hand that re-creates the subconscious wanderings of its owner.
