Foreword to the catalogue "Wenn die Kinder sind im Dunkeln, ..."
PLEASE STAND A LITTLE CLOSER APART
Michael Curtiz
The important thing about the selected works is what they emanate and their intensity. One is supposed to be - literally - touched by this. The artists speak from within the dark, using a loud, spectacular language to formulate their dreams, wishes, fears, obsessions ... They speak from their inner-most self.
The antithesis is like a wall without a door. To penetrate this wall is to break a taboo. The antithesis of inside and out, hot and cold, life and death is separated by the most flexible barrier - that of being. Where is the statement to be penetrated? To let the dream emerge in the carpet of a dream and to make reality credible? The approach aims at naturalizing meaning.

An increase in the pleasure of playing to increase the number of signifiers and not to obtain a final signified. An "expanse" wich cannot be grasped. The copy of semblance becomes authentic through the knowledge of what is inside, what lies below it.
