The night, the time of darkness, is the topic of exhibition Night on Earth. Curated by Ralf Christofori, curator of the internationally acclaimed exhibition Colour Me Blind!, Night on Earth triggers memories of Jim Jarmusch’s unforgettable homage to night in the 20th Century.
In both Jarmusch’s film and this exhibition, nightlife is investigated as an unavoidable part of our contemporary reality. The exhibition is centred on a theme that has become a leitmotif of the Hawerkamp exhibition programme: showing artworks that see their aesthetic potential in their ability to illumine aspects of our life from the social and societal angle. Once again in this Hawerkamp show, connections, structures and ways of behaving are revealed, showing the complexity of our everyday lives.
