Un examen de la question du care et des dépendances mutuelles qui existent entre les personnes, les sociétés et les institutions, à l'intersection de la pratique artistique, de l'accessibilité et de l'activisme, à travers le travail de 14 artistes contemporains.
This publication was realized on the occasion of the eponymous group exhibition at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in 2023-2024, focused on mutual dependencies among people, societies, and institutions. The fourteen artists offered critical and solution-oriented perspectives on social relationships and power structures. At the heart of the exhibition lay individual and collective experiences of disability, illness and healing.
The exhibition presented different models of care, from self-care to political care via collective care. Several works criticised the concept of self-care and how, as a defence mechanism for individuals, it distracts from structural problems. Others presented alternatives in radical care that might counteract social ills and effect political change. The exhibition and the texts in the catalogue demonstrate approaches based on collective care, questioning traditional as well as institutional notions of care (work).
