In an era increasingly permeated by so called "alternative facts" in both the private and political spheres, the artist Mischa Kuball (b. 1959) poses central questions of meaning. He reveals social modes of action and political discourses, which, through his works, are simultaneously subjected to revision. To this end, he collated, for example, the office lighting of a highrise building at night to form light patterns that question everyday energy consumption in the nocturnal skyline, or let a paper-thin rescue blanket be blown by the wind through streets or landscapes, the lightness and fragility of which is reminiscent of the instability and finiteness of human life. The exhibition ReferenzRäume (transl. reference spaces) has a retrospective character and presents for the first time a cross-section of Kuball's work of the last three decades, including large-scale installations, photographs, video projections, documentations, etc. from the work complex public preposition.
