With the exhibition POWER IS FRAGILE, the Wemhöner Collection’s Viewing Depot opens its spaces to the public for the first time. The exhibition brings together thirteen artistic positions from the collection and is dedicated to the various manifestations of power. The focus is less on the question of what power is, but rather on how it becomes visible – in images and symbols, societal roles, political structures, and social relationships.
Sometimes subtly, sometimes directly, the works question familiar images and certainties. They show how power becomes visible, how it manifests itself, and what consequences it can unfold. The works speak of authority and control, of prestige and exclusion, of social hierarchies and political conflicts. At the same time, they draw attention to vulnerability and the ruptures within seemingly stable systems.
