The participating artworks are selected by a top class Jury and will be displayed for 10 days on Public Billboards in the urban space of the City of Düsseldorf (Germany) during DÜSSELDORF PHOTO in February 2018. The collaborative Exhibition concept by Lucie Freynhagen and Svenja Wichmann works at the curatorial interception of Art and Life and focuses on conceptual artistic situations. To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed. It means putting oneself into a certain relation to the world that feels like knowledge - and, therefore like power.

Strictly speaking one never understands anything from a photograph. Photography defines a large part of our daily being, influences our Self-Awareness and shapes our conception of the world, while Billboards are part of our public everyday world and usually represent the consumer culture of the society we live in. In the Spirit of Susan Sontag the exhibition 2 min ago seeks to challenge contemporary aesthetic consumerism and to examine our personal perception to enable a new discourse on how we reflect on the countless images we perceive on a daily basis. We therefore understand public Billboards as a complex site for art that is accessible for everyone and will be used to show artworks that challenge and reflect on Photography as an artistic medium in the context of digital age, social image and political content.© OFFM Pubilc Art Panels 2015_Marta Niedbal “Face” © Dresden Public Art View 2014_Esteban Gonzalez - Capture d’écran 2014-07-12 à 17.59.45OPEN CALL
