Nature Attitudes

In Nature Attitudes the broad thematic of nature and landscape is subject to artistic reflection. While "nature" refers to both real and fictional environments, "attitudes" relates to constructed images and to artifice. With this in mind, the exhibition explores nature as a site, an object of perception and a symptom of fascination, while acknowledging that it is also a culturally produced concept coded in a specific time and space. Today the notion of constructed nature penetrates into evermore domains of life. With the ongoing destruction of nature, the emulation and reconstruction of the very nature that has been disturbed becomes a new terrain of investigation. Haluk Akakçe, Kutlu? Ataman, John Bock, Olafur Eliasson, Marine Hugonnier, Mariele Neudecker, Olaf Nicolai, Matthew Ritchie, Allan Sekula, Diana Thater and Janaina Tschäpe transgress or break with the conventions of the local, regional view of nature to demonstrate means by which contemporary art engages with and builds upon complex issues of representation.
