I/I Can/I Cannot/I Cannot Venture Myself
In her first solo exhibition in North America, the conceptual artist Alice Creischer (Gerolstein, Germany, b. 1960), shows a recent body of work that encompasses video, photo collage, text, and sculpture. Through her artistic practice, curating, and writing, Creischer has become a crucial voice of an institutionally critical practice that struggles for a language to simultaneously analyze and criticize, comment, and intervene on the socio-economic fabric enveloping her. The exhibition I / I CAN / I CANNOT / I CANNOT VENTURE MYSELF stages the slow rise of Neoliberalism and its imperatives of creative destruction to liberate individuals from governmental checks so they venture their dreams and sell them on the free market. However, Creisher suggests localizing this seemingly monstrous and ghostly enemy instead of hallucinating about the (im-)possibilities of an exodus and daydreaming about the all-encompassing Neoliberalism that has obliterated the quest for an outside. It is about pinning the Neoliberal counter-revolution down to concrete words and events, to define the enemy and regain the ability to struggle.
