In her solo exhibition "THIS IS NOW", Andrea Morein engages with our shaken present, asking how historical experiences and social notions thought to have been overcome continue to affect it. In view of political and social developments that increasingly call familiar certainties into question, the artist examines the fragility of our ideas of progress and permanence. What does it mean when the past suddenly catches up with us again? And how does this change our view of the present and the future?
The starting point of her artistic exploration is found and preserved objects, which carry within them memories, longings for a "heile Welt" (a whole world), and past realities of life.
