What is the dream that makes you dream?

In the organizer's words:

Throughout the history of art, there have always been counter-proposals to the prevailing canon and crisis-ridden current affairs.
Even today, artists are calling on us to break through rigid thought patterns and expand our consciousness in order to create visions of the future
beyond the limitations of the present.

In the dream state, different realities interact with each other. Compared to what one allows in the conscious waking state,
a freer form of perception and knowledge production takes place. There are leaps in time, connections between different
places - alternative realities and utopian future spaces are created through the power of the subconscious and imagination.

The examination of our dreams sheds light on our joys, fears and hopes. In the exhibition
What is the dream that makes you dream? focuses on dreaming as a path to deeper levels of consciousness.
In the midst of multiple global crises and disturbing news that we receive every day, What is the dream that makes you dream? consciously focuses on optimistic counterpoints that suggest hope, resilience and healing.

What is the dream that makes you dream? is curated by Sabine Rusterholz Petko and Stefanie Böttcher.

The exhibition is supported by Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz, Ernst und Olga Gubler-Hablützel Stiftung, Erna und Curt Burgauer Stiftunq and Volksbank Darmstadt Mainz.
