# art and the industrial complex
-K.R.H. Sonderborg and Michelle-Marie Letelier – what is the connection between two artists from different generations, gender and geography? What warrants the idea to actually present their works together? – Especially at a time which seems to keep apart people from one another that don´t share the same cultural and biographical backgrounds. Between Letelier and Sonderborg, just about everything seems to be different, were it not for both artists´ profound fascination with art and the industrial complex.

Die Wege des Wassers – 水之道
-Wasser ist Leben, sagt man – und tatsächlich kann man nur 3-4 Tage ohne Trinkwasser leben, bevor man an Exsikkose stirbt. Wasser ist eine unverzichtbare Voraussetzung für das Leben, nicht nur für das menschliche Leben, sondern auch für das unseres Planeten. Und dennoch haben heute die meisten Menschen in westlichen Gesellschaften den Eindruck, dass Wasser aus den Wänden ihrer Küchen und Badezimmer entspringt. Wie wenig wir über Wasser wissen, kann man mit einem kleinen Alltagsbeispiel zeigen.

Where Power Lies – 31 Portraits
-Where Power Lies Maryam Mottalebis malerische Praxis geht unter die Haut. Seit über zehn Jahren malt sie obsessive Portraits von Politiker:innen und anderen Personen der Macht. Ihre Auswahl ist dabei eher intuitiv. Motive ihrer Porträts - einige der mächtigsten Individuen unserer (und aller) Zeiten. Trump und Putin, Netanjahu und Salman ibn Abd al-Aziz, Merkel und Rafsanjani ... Jedes ihrer Bilder aber ist eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der portraitierten Person, vermittelt durch die Fotografie, denn sie hat (fast) keines ihrer Bildsubjekte je persönlich getroffen.
