FELIX CONTZEN, ACHIM MOHNÉ & FRANCIS ZEISCHEGG | Kunstmuseum Ahlen
What about the limits and reliability of our perception in an increasingly computer-generated and AI-influenced visual world? Processes of merging digital media with reality lead to hybrid forms of appearance, located between reality and virtuality. The information and truth content of images therefore appears more problematic than ever. Can we still trust images, can we still trust our own perception? Artists explore this development, provoke an examination of certainties that have become problematic in the realm of images and challenge us to a ‘reality check’. Paintings, drawings, photographs and spatial installations show labyrinthine pictorial spaces, fascinating surfaces and surreal events. Are things as they seem? Art becomes a training ground for critical seeing; the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on differentiated realities and limited truths.
Opening October 12, 6-9 pm, Exhibition duration: 13.10.2024 - 26.01.2024
ACHIM MOHNÉ | Internationales Festival Fotografischer Bilder
Saturday, 25.11.2023 at 2 pm: Panel discussion 2023 on the topic "Do we need to rethink photography?"
Guests: Dr. Stefan Gronert (Sprengel Museum Hannover), Dr. Roland Meyer (Ruhr University Bochum), Prof. Achim Mohné (FH Dortmund), Lars Willumeit (Photo Elysee Lausanne, CH); Moderation: Andy Scholz & Martin Rosner. In the Städtische Galerie im Leeren Beutel, Regensburg.
"Photographic images and imaging processes have characterized the debate in recent months in connection with 'AI-generated' images and texts. This renewed discussion about the truth of photographic images is as old as photography itself. What is new is that it affects and concerns us all. Because what is happening directly around us and in the world, the latest news, for example, not only appears immediately, globally and everywhere in a matter of seconds, but also directly on the display we are holding in our hands - even in our comfort zone - sometimes very directly. And suddenly we realize that it affects our everyday lives and can affect us at any time." - Andy Scholz, September 2023.
