To mark its 25th anniversary, the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) invites visitors to look beyond the present: twelve artistic projects developed specifically for the exhibition open up new perspectives on our times and encourage reflection on social change.
Curator Shelley Harten will present the artworks, explain the conceptual background to the exhibition and invite visitors to engage in a discussion about *The Opposite of Now*.
The works engage with the challenges of an often oppressive ‘now’ and encourage visitors to develop their own visions of a more liveable future.
A key starting point for the exhibition is the perspective of the Jewish minority, which has had to endure many unbearable ‘presents’ throughout its history. The exhibition *The Opposite of Now* explores alternatives: reversal, hope and the vision of a better life for all.
Artists: Yael Bartana, Andrea Büttner, Chto Delat International, Arnold Dreyblatt, William Forsythe, Dana Kavelina, Alexander Kluge, Daniel Laufer, Dor Zlekha Levy, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Alona Rodeh, Eran Schaerf.
