Taking iconic artworks such as Paul Gauguin’s Noa Noa and Oskar Kokoschka’s Tiger Cat as starting points, the show assembles a diverse range of work from early contemporary to more recent artistic responses to the modernist imprint of desire and fantasy on contemporary culture. Particularly when juxta­posed with hyperbolized images of modern-day advertising, the exhibition explores the psychological impacts of the modernist image on image culture and the Western psyche.\n\nIn the framework of the opening, curators Dieter Buchhart and Mathias Kessler will talk with artists in our new show about the themes and history of the “exotic” and its interpretation in contemporary art. The talk in the ACFNY auditorium is followed by the Opening Reception which features a performance by Vienna-based artist Marissa Lôbo.\nFind this event on Facebook.\n
