Su-Ran Sichling | Preface to the transgression

Su-Ran Sichling's exhibition is dedicated to borders. According to Christoph Kleinschmidt, a border is both a material-visible formation and a mental attitude and exhibits a variable consistency, as it always depends on the historical and social discourses, practices or institutions in which it appears. A border is subject to cultural settings or conventional patterns of perception. This becomes particularly clear in the case of national borders or cultural discourses of sovereignty, in which different actors decide on inclusion and exclusion in the sense of an apparatus of power. However, it also means that it can be changed.

This measure is co-financed by tax funds on the basis of the budget adopted by the Saxon state parliament and supported by the foundation of the NEUSTARTplus special funding programme for platforms in the visual arts.
