INVOLVED evolves around different terms of engagement and involvement - be it artistically, sexually, or politically - often focusing on what is left unsaid. The great diversity of the artists and their projects display concepts of what it means to affect, include, contain, or comprehend in today's world, with very different aesthetic and intended ends. Often evasive, the art here approach being INVOLVED on different levels. Indeed, such complexity and contradictory perspectives thwart a one-dimensional and ideological treatment of the subject matter, and keeps it open.



New works have been conceived especially for this exhibition by painter extraordinaire Luc Tuymans, together with conceptualist Miroslaw Balka, and by Yutaka Sone, living in Los Angeles, and young London based artist Stefan Bruggemann. Projects also include paintings and drawings by Zhang Enli and Armen Eloyan, based in Switzerland, film and videos by Norwegian artist Knut Asdam and New York based Corey McCorkle, an outdoor sound installation by Pavel Buchler, an archival video project by Shi Yong, a sculpture by Yutaka Sone, a three-dimensional piece by Xu Zhen, and a collaborative limited-edition sound piece by Tuymans & Balka which will be sold as a vinyl piece, including drawings by the artists, at the gallery.
