Concepts of Love

Concepts of Love is an exhibition that pursues artistic discourses, productions and discussions thematising or – more precisely – thinking proactively the experience of „falling in love” as a radical form of movement.

The experience of "falling in love" cannot be drawn up as it lies beyond rational options of resolution. But love itself is not seen as irrational. It is linked with uncountable political, aesthetical and desire-related projections, compositions and concepts. The lovers' talks, products and analyses of these love concepts stand for the most part in contrast with a capitalistic logic of reference. They might be stoked up, inhibited, manipulated, or psychoanalytically explained but cannot possibly be "calculated" in a success-oriented way. Only when the lovers succeed in accepting the difference between each other or when he&she is able to – as author Monika Rinck words it – "think the You beyond the I" can love take effect.
