In the field of tension between inner states and social expectations, the exhibition Feelings are Facts is dedicated to artistic positions that make emotional states visible – directly, quietly, poetically, or radically.

The presentation focuses on making emotions visible in art. In a present in which feelings are often regarded as a weakness and emotionality is being pushed out of the public sphere, the exhibition takes a deliberate stand: feelings as resistance.

The curatorial concept places established figures such as Carol Rama, Sonia Delaunay, Jean Arp, Man Ray, and Robert Indiana in a dynamic dialogue with contemporary artists including Marko Zink, Viktors Svikis, Evelyn Loschy, Karin Pliem, Parsa Khalili, Ivica Capan, and Ingrid Cogne.

The works on view – ranging from painting and photography to performance and graphic art – address central questions: How can emotions be expressed today? How political are emotions? And how is the perception of intimacy changing in the digital age?

The exhibition invites reflection on inner states – beyond pathos and spectacle.
