‘SEA PIECES | Facts and Fiction’ continues at Berlin’s Alfred Erhardt Foundation until July 18, 2021. The group exhibition of contemporary works, curated by Berlin-based art historian Harald F. Theiss, investigates our ever-changing perspective of the sea and challenges our familiar associations. Idiosyncratic aesthetic elements turn the sea into an artistic platform for simulations, manipulations and metaphors.
Rather than presenting traditional maritime scenes, the featured artists – among them Jessica Backhaus, Jochen Lempert, Moritz Hirsch, Sascha Weidner and Julius von Bismarck – investigate socio-political themes of our time, and pose questions as to what may be concealed beneath a seemingly idyllic surface.
