Not barrier-free. SUN Sept. 9, 2018, the Bunker closes at 6 PM. Last entry is 30 minutes before the exhibition closes.
The theme exhibition Error in Progress expresses the ambiguity of its title, which not only alludes to the processual nature of trial and error and the open dynamics of the imperfect, but also the question of the errors, mistakes and aberrations of our progress – politically, socially and technologically. From climate change to the aftermaths of warfare to the issue of distributive justice – humanity without a doubt faces numerous challenging problems, some more obvious than others, which require public awareness and creative ideas as well pragmatic solutions on both global and local scales.
Thus, the exhibition reflects the broad, increasing unease with current developments and presents artistic work as an effective way of reformulating problems, shifting perspectives and developing alternative concepts. Coping with societal errors is an ongoing process – a cross-generational, collective effort that asks for the individuals’ different qualities. Moreover, it seems to be an indicator for the openness of a society, as dealing with this kind of errors can either result in the division of people, or bring them together in a constructive manner.
