"ROASTED PIGEONS or ART LEFT WORK" is a collaborative exhibition project on the relationship between art and criticism. Does theory need art to deal with unresolved historical problems? Does art need a corresponding critique in order to unfold its potential? Seven authors were invited to write about a series of selected works of art. The exhibition presents both the previously unpublished critiques and the corresponding artistic works. "ROASTED PIGEONS or ART LEFT WORK" explores the question of whether and to what extent the reciprocal relationship between art and criticism is still relevant. The exhibition follows on from "The Good Shovel" (2022) and "I say a Flower" (2023) and, like these, sees itself as an attempt at self-criticism of contemporary art. It pursues the fundamental questioning of the common sense prevailing in the contemporary art scene, as well as its dominant phenomena.
