The exhibition “Kann es Liebe sein?” had been shown first in Berlin, moving forward to the city of Luxembourg and ending in Vienna for the Vienna Art Week during the months of September – November 2012.
‘Love’ is a theme almost as old as humanity itself: simultaneously complex and trivial, heart-breaking and hackneyed. The question ‘Can it be love?’ – raised by the (then very young) singer Falco and the actress Desirée Nosbusch in a syrupy ’80s duet (‘Kann es Liebe sein?’) – has inspired the curators Nora Mayr and Gilles Neiens to present positions by artists in search of answers to this important question. KANN ES LIEBE SEIN? uses select works to reflect upon different aspects of love and to ask how much desire and which yearnings and disappointments we associate with this term.
CURATORS:
Nora Mayr, Gilles Neiens
