SYSTEMRELEVANT is a show that takes possession of the term “systemically relevant”, a term that has been the subject of much discussion in recent years. This exhibition rethinks it, asking questions without knowing the answers. It is also an establishment of position for the new artistic director of the Künstlerhaus, a consciously personal and programmatic show that does not shy away from using the means of an exhibition to think about what an (analogue) art space in the twenty-first century can be like.

SYSTEMRELEVANT is vibrantly diverse as a matter of course; cross-disciplinary thinking and participatory projects are seen as significant and enriching. SYSTEMRELEVANT is just a suggestion, a (permeable) framework and imaginative space that can inspire, touch, and make us think. Is all of this relevant to the system? The works of art speak for themselves.
