A stance observed throughout Europe has recently met with the approval of many voters, a stance that Olga Flor describes as “antihumanism as new pragmatism”. The author writes: “Severity and becoming hardened to other people’s suffering is declared to be a political necessity and proclaimed a social norm.” People seeking refuge in Europe have long been described as an enemy that unites right-wing populists in all countries. The artworks and stances of the artists in this exhibition set out to oppose this.

Supported by steirischer herbst

The phrase "Guerilla der Aufklärung" (Guerrilla of Enlightenment) is used by courtesy of Doron Rabinovici and has been taken from the text "Aktion und Artikulation. Das Bestehen des Republikanischen Clubs" published in "Von der Kunst der Nestbeschmutzung - Dokumente gegen Ressentiment und Rassismus seit 1986", Löcker Verlag, 2009.
