*Love is everything – the title of the iconic song by the German pop duo Rosenstolz from 2004 – is the inspiration for a group exhibition on the cross-border theme of love. Love is everything and love encompasses everything: love between people in all their diversity, love of nature, cultures, landscapes, places ... Love is individual, at best positively connoted and independent, it can create identity, is subjectively shaped and appreciation, respect and tolerance are inextricably linked to it.
In the exhibition, works of art in which different metaphors, allegories, symbols and associations are used pictorially or linguistically, as well as reflecting the ambivalence of the topic, represent a thematically immanent complexity in terms of media: painting, sculpture, drawing, video and sound present visually playful, serious and multi-faceted variants of the image of love.
