Bunch of Kunst in Quarantine // Paradox Paradise is a virtual exhibition curated by Mara-Johanna Kolmel and Tina Sauerlaender. It turns its lens on artistic production in times of Corona and poses the question of how visual art - in the context of social distancing, national demarcation, domestic retreat, economic downturn, rising nationalism and encompassing surveillance - can open up alternative paths for reflection, transformation and solidarity. As such, Paradox Paradise symbolizes the state of living between the extremes unfolding between physical and the digital worlds. The exhibition at Kara Agora on Mozilla Hubs is a new iteration of Mara-Johanna Kolmel’s open call Instagram exhibition Bunch of Kunst in Quarantine // Reflections On The Viral Vacuum. This edition presents selected European artists from the first edition who have remodeled their artworks especially for the virtual exhibition space.
