TUNNEL BELOW / SKYJACKING ABOVE: DECONSTRUCTING THE BORDER
26 August – 1 October 2017

This exhibition addresses the immediate impact of Border Regimes today. Usually excluded narratives are revealed while focusing on specific flashpoints: The growing barriers of Europe, the border between the USA and Mexico and the militarized eco-system of the Jordan River. As the contexts may be different, the issues and agendas of repression are often similar. Can border phenomena be examined as part of a larger, neolibe- ral agenda implemented through a war of images, habituating us to increasingly violent realities? Artists
familiar with different border contexts are invited to create and to present work at the nGbK.
