Assaf Gruber: The World is Round and People Meet in the Corners

KRIEG? university gallery, PXL-MAD School of Arts (Hasselt, BE), 5 May — 6 June, 2022

The World is Round and People Meet in the Corners is a result of Assaf Gruber’s ongoing investigation of how politics intersect with art and its institutions. It reveals the human stories and shifting ideological values at the “back-end” of cultural institutions. His exhibition at KRIEG? will consist of the video installation Transient Witness, a sculpture and a series of photographs. The ensemble of works confronts art museums with their future role in society through their metamorphosing present and unexpected past.

Transient Witness is co-produced by Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, KRIEG? (Hasselt, Belgium), the Botín Foundation in Santander (Spain), CCA Tel Aviv, and Outset Contemporary Art Fund.
