Dystopische Idylle
Is an independent exhibition, conceived as a device towards action, learning and focus within the first wave of Pandemic fear. A small group of artists joined at the gallery of the Mengerzeile Project scape in Berlin and developed custom works for the project.

Ephemeral Tomorrow
Luis Bustamante + Sofia Clonn
Six households related to artistic practice, come together after a year of lock down, growing uncertainty and apocalyptic visions. The purpose: to rearticulate by free means, and within a small exhibition space, different interpretations of what they experienced on emotional and personal levels. What might they tell us about their perception of space and time after this not-so-subtle change of paradigm? What was, and is, their relationship to a Dystopia that hardly feels as real from our privileged context on a privileged geolocation? Why we elaborate and fantasize more than ever with the end of our time while choosing to ignore our role in the process of self-destruction?
