| Description | (In)Visibility of Violence seeks to explore these unequal power structures and the visual regimes that shape the perception of violence: What societal, political, and media mechanisms make violence visible or invisible? How is violence documented, instrumentalized, or censored? What creative and artistic approaches can render violence perceptible? How do artists employ strategies such as alienation, censorship, documentation, or spectacularization to depict or obscure violence? The exhibition is a collaboration with the Research Center “Transformations of Political Violence” (TraCe), which began in October 2024 with the dialogue panel “Depictions of Excessive Use of Force – Between Disturbance and Attraction” at Kunsthalle. The exhibition will be accompanied by a journal published jointly by the KUNSTHALLE GIESSEN and scholars from the TraCe Research Center With Mansoor Adayfi, Hiba Alansari, Moath Al-Alwi, Sami Al Haj, Lucinda Devlin, Johanna-Maria Fritz, Mohammed el Gharani, Roopa Gogineni, Johannah Herr, Jonas Höschl, Šejla Kamerić, Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif, Rabih Mroué, Kresiah Mukwazhi, Jean Gabriel Périot, Thomson & Craighead, Total Refusal, Helena Uambembe and Emmanuel Van der Auwera |
