A new installation of Dampbusters was included in the show, Invisible Until It’s Broken, curated by Silke Schönfeld.
Do structural problems only become visible when those very structures start to crack? For whom are glass ceilings transparent? Who stares at concrete while looking up?
Based on the idea that infrastructures only become visible when they break, the group exhibition Invisible Until It‘s Broken brings together eight spatially expansive installations.
In the works of these artists, the boundaries between private and political, between the individual and the collective, become blurred. They demand our involvement as viewers precisely because of their autobiographical references. With their poetic-political, sometimes playfully humorous perspectives, the artists put their fingers right in the wound. Cracks in social and material infrastructures become palpable.
