Thresholds, phases and periods permeate our understanding of the individual, society and history, often accompanied by a belief in progress. Probably the most ubiquitous example is the titular transition to adulthood, which has been an expression of manifold spiritual, cultural and legal conventions since antiquity. This is neither the first nor the last phase that structures human life.
The exhibition brings together eight artistic positions that deal with spaces and processes of search, change and failure. Turning away from a linear logic, the multimedia sculptures, paintings, drawings, photographs and videos in their individual approaches often testify to moments of universality.
