GOOD SPACE — COMMUNITIES, OR THE PROMISE OF HAPPINESS focuses on the formation of communities from perspectives of contemporary art. Social diversity arises, not in the shape of disconnected, mono-cultural islands, but instead through contact, through exchange, through cooperation.
The cohesion of societies is characterised by a unifying element, whether this is shared values or concepts of identity, whether it consists of norms or of rules. But also inherent to mutual connection is always an aspect of delimitation and exclusion. The question as to what constitutes the sense of “we” is loaded with explosive power — also with regard to politics.
