For this year’s members exhibition of the Professional Association of Visual Artists Hamburg, a jury of five experts selected thirty artistic positions from 145 submissions. System Error: Human? compiles works that explore the fragile, the unfinished and the contradictory. Between analogue material and the digital code, between earth, fabric, metal and pixels, they negotiate questions of control, loss and new beginnings. They display breaks as transitions, cracks as openings, irritations as starting points for new forms of coexistence. The exhibition thus becomes a polyphonic plea for the productive power of the error – and for art as a field where orientation is continually being re-created.
In an interactive tour, Avid Saeed, one of the members of this year’s jury, will share her views on the selected works.
