Jan Dibbets, Juergen Staack at Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf

Under the title "In Szene gesetzt (Staged), Made in Düsseldorf #8" brings together works from the Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf’s art collection at the Kunstpalast that explore the tension between reality and human perception. Through photography, film, sound and sculpture, the artists probe the possibilities of representing reality. In doing so, they make the mediums themselves the subject, using a variety of strategies to reveal their potential, limitations and interpretive capacities. The artistic (de)construction of reality opens up new perspectives for us. The artists featured in the exhibition show us that an image can be a construction, a chemical or digital process, a spatial statement or a linguistic fragment.

"Made in Düsseldorf" is an exhibition series organised by the Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf in collaboration with the Kunstpalast. It is dedicated to contemporary artists who are connected to Düsseldorf and the Rhineland through their studies, their place of residence or their artistic content.
