What Can Be Done to Make Trouble? // group show @ Kunstverein Familie Montez e.V., Frankfurt am Main, 2017Â

What can be done to make Trouble?: Eine Frage zeitgenössischer Kunst: The catalog for the exhibition raises this question as a current issue of contemporary art. It is intended to investigate the extent to which art is still able to cause trouble, to irritate (even its own) conditions - and how art can actually still disregard something in a time in which the new and different has become the lifestyle of an urban creative society. At the same time, artists are working in a present in which political and social instabilities are also beginning to challenge the role of art again. In seven contributions, art scholars present selected and emerging positions of young contemporary art and discuss their works in relation to the question of whether and how art today can be understood as a 'trouble maker'.
