As a co-production of Ursula Blickle Foundation and Frankfurter Kunstverein, the exhibition Pensée Sauvage, which uses the title of the well known book by Lévi- Strauss, presents an interesting take on the actual fact of meeting the stranger and the notion of freedom. All the works selected for the exhibition have one common denominator: the desire to provoke a new confidence - confidence in our senses and in our capability to imagine the world beyond the anxiety of the everyday. The artworks perform a détournement, involving the viewer as an active operator, an editor, a translator, a transmitter. Pensée Sauvage intends to construct a state of persuasion where our appreciation of the aesthetic goes hand in hand with an invitation to exercise the political.
