Baroque Topologies, a group exhibition curated by Kea Bolenz and Louis Hay, is on at Kunstverein Leipzig, running June 05 to August 14, 2021.
Featuring artists such as Simon Denny, Cajsa von Zeipel, Maya Ben David, Jonas Wendelin, and Leah Walker, the exhibition readdresses notions of the baroque in a contemporary timeframe, drawing from the ornate 17th century style’s ecstatic use of line and form to warp senses of space and reality. Also featuring Jonathan Castro, UCC Harlo, Su Yu Hsin, Mathieu Malouf and Arnold Trautwein, the show explores baroque tendencies of when “the difference between an objectively measurable external world and the subjective world of experience starts to blur.”**
