Exhibition, Readings
Quantanamo II is a sequel of the work-in-progress project Quantanamo, which started in July at the Symposion Lindabrunn.
In a room behind iron barred doors, the artists sit working. Notched sticks are carved, texts are written, readings, drawings and photos are taken. Behind bars ‒ for their protection or locked up? Ivory tower or prison?
The artists shape the world according to their ideas and thoughts. They not only put human rights up for discussion, but also the necessity of remembering and forgetting, the meaning of monuments and the power of those who decide on guilt and atonement.
“With the hands on the bars, the longing for freedom grows.”
(from the text QUANTANAMO by Johanna Haigl)
