Can anger and rage be justified in a world riddled with oppression and inequality? Are these emotions destructive forces or vital catalysts for social change? As democracy faces crises and populism gains ground globally, these questions have sparked renewed debate. Contemporary artists have responded, using their work to navigate and challenge the pressing issues of our time. The exhibition ‘Time for Outrage!’ in Düsseldorf explores these questions through six thematic blocks: Right-wing Shift, Trumpism, Protest, Postcolonialism, Feminism, and Discrimination. Across a diverse range of mediums — including installations, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photography, and video art — 40 international artists immerse viewers in the visceral realms of protest, social dissent, and public anger. The exhibition doesn’t just present anger as a raw emotion; it portrays it as a vehicle for dialogue, resistance, and empowerment in the face of systemic injustice. A substantial portion of the works on display come from the collection of entrepreneur and collector Florian Peters-Messer, whose commitment to socially engaged art amplifies the urgent messages these pieces convey.Vasily Ulitin. Elegy is a poignant exploration of memory and the human experience, showcasing contemporary artworks that delve into themes of loss and nostalgia. This compelling exhibition brings together a diverse array of artists, each offering a unique lens on the fragility of existence and the echoes of the past. Through striking visuals and thought-provoking installations, visitors are invited to reflect on the transient nature of life and the artifacts of memory that linger in our minds. The careful curation weaves a narrative that transcends individual perspectives, creating a shared space for solace and contemplation.The exhibition Hyogo Prefectural Yokoo Emergency Hospital explores the profound connection between artist Yokoo Tadanori’s body, his life, and his creative output. Spanning his journey from sensory childhood experiences to confronting old age, the exhibition highlights Yokoo’s unique philosophy of trusting physical sensation over mental states, even in the face of numerous illnesses and injuries such as asthma and facial palsy. The museum is transformed into a hospital setting, featuring works, diaries, and sketches by Yokoo, including his prophetic With Corona series of 2020 which addressed masks. Viewers are invited to reexamine their own relationship with the physical and consider how challenges, including those of a global pandemic, can inspire resilience and artistic force. This presentation underscores the body as a truthful guide for life and art.The exhibition invites viewers into the intricate narrative of Russia’s monetary evolution during a time of upheaval. It explores the profound impact of the 1917 revolution on currency, showcasing how money served as both a reflection and catalyst of societal change. Visitors can discover unique artifacts, many on display for the first time, organized into sections such as “Stable Ruble,” “Money and War,” and “The New Economic Policy.” Highlights include the first “Kerensky” notes, designs featuring Marx, and the initial Soviet currency.Yokoo Tadanori’s Haunted Museum presents a compelling exploration of the intrinsic connection between art and fear, featuring a diverse range of the artist’s works. Yokoo Tadanori has consistently pursued phenomena that remain invisible or unexplainable by science, a fascination rooted in his childhood experiences with profound darkness and mystical encounters in Nishiwaki. This deeply personal history informs much of his art, from his celebrated illustrations for the Complete Works of Edogawa Rampo to his paintings created since his “painter’s declaration.” The exhibition, designed with deliberately darkened spaces, encourages visitors to engage with their own ambivalent emotions of wanting to look yet fearing the unknown. It highlights art’s enduring capacity to interpret and express humanity’s primal responses to mystery and the unseen, fostering a reflection on these universal aspects of human existence.

This innovative exhibition reimagines the traditional museum experience through the lens of dance and choreography, inviting audiences to become active participants in the artistic dialogue. It foregrounds the unpredictable interplay between viewer movement and static artworks, showcasing how personal histories, cultural contexts, and physical presence transform the museum into a living, dynamic space. By exploring the nuances of how we look at and engage with art, the exhibition challenges visitors to reflect on their own movement and interactions within the gallery. This exhibition is a thought-provoking exploration of the embodied experience of art, making the viewer an integral part of the creative narrative.

Why should you watch this?

In today’s rapidly evolving cultural landscape, this exhibition stands out by positioning dance and choreography as vital means of understanding and engaging with art in the museum context. By centering the audience’s experience, it reflects our collective need for connection and interaction in spaces that often feel static and distant. In an era where individual perspectives and cultural backgrounds shape our understanding of art, this exhibition invites viewers to reclaim their role, reminding us that museums are not just repositories of art but vibrant environments shaped by human presence and movement. As the act of looking becomes more layered and complex in our digital world, this exhibition challenges us to reconsider our relationship with art, encouraging a deeper engagement that resonates well beyond the gallery walls.
