On Nervous Grounds

In a world at a tipping point, where the desire for destruc­tion and devas­ta­tion is once again being celebrated quite openly, reality seems to be incre­a­singly perceived through the filter of one’s own emotions.

Political and social tensions put people in a collec­tively nervous and vulnerable mood. On the threshold between delusion and reality, between the self and the outside world, the exhibi­tion explores the moment when contra­dic­tory emotions arise. Using selected works from the collec­tion of the Kunst­mu­seum Wolfsburg, On Nervous Grounds shows how art has created emotional resonance since the 1970s and into the present day.
