House on Lützowplatz opens Global National: Art on Right-Wing Populism curated by Raimar Stange
(Artdaily.org)

The resurgence of right-wing extremism in Europe and other parts of the world as well as the ensuing dangers, such as the aggravation of xenophobic policies including a more or less furtive racism, stand at the focus of the exhibition „GLOBAL NATIONAL“. Thirteen artists from eight different nations examine the causes, manifestations and effects of these disastrous developments in this project conceived by Raimar Stange. The exhibition `GLOBAL NATIONAL` wants to take a stand in this democracy-threatening context, for a truly open and multicultural society, it aims to warn against the current shift to the right, it wants to raise awareness for racist thinking and analyze causes of right-wing populism aesthetically. The striking text work We Have a Situation Here by Oliver Ressler shows dead black-clad men lying on the ground in a pile.
