berlin · istanbul · vice versa is an exhibition that enquires after the cultural transitions and uncertainties of a society made up of world citizens. It is true that art cannot deliver prefabricated answers or compact recipes for political and economic change. But artists react sensitively to social reform and reflect on its risks and utopias without prejudice.
berlin · istanbul · vice versa gathers together artists from the growing metropolises of the present day – mostly from Berlin and Istanbul – and aims, quite consciously, to employ attractive analogies and find mysterious metaphors with which to underline the differences between the cultural territories and so to emphasise the necessity of fundamental difference as opposition to the globalised loss of meaning in art.
