Expanded Territory brings together artists of a generation united by its experience of radical change in social and political systems. Their works are located in an open, permanently changing space of possibility. The works are developed via personal biographies, local issues and are thus characteristic of some of contemporary art practice.All artists examine the issues of the future and of history, opening the depths and darkness of the human psyche and linking the cerebral interior with the experience of the external. And so creating a convincing 'face or our time'.Featuring the work of Agnieszka Brzezanska (Poland), Giulio Frigo (Italy), Eva Kotátková (Czechoslovakia) und Aïda Ruilova (United States).Published on the occasion of the exhibition Expanded Territory, 1 October - 10 December 2011, at KAI 10 Raum für Kunst der Arthena Foundation, Düsseldorf, Germany.English and German text.
