Brochure accompanying ‘(Dis)connection’, an exhibition with installations, sculptures and video works by thirteen international artists. ‘(Dis)connection’ - a co-production of Kunstvereniging Diepenheim and the Chalupecký Society (Czech Republic) - brought together different artistic positions linked by a shared concern: how can we live together? The question was an echo of a larger field of social and economic concerns. It suggests a rethinking of the ways in which we organize ourselves - both personally and collectively. In the midst of a global environmental, humanitarian and political crisis, we have to ask ourselves what we can do to avert this threat. What knowledge can we resort to and which assumptions and values should we let go of? ‘(Dis)connection’ was the start of the a long-term collaborative research project 'Islands: Possibilities of Togetherness' of initiator Jindřich Chalupecký Society, with research, an exhibition and lectures, realized with various international organizations and partners.
