For several years now, rage and indignation have been defining features of social interactions, both on the political scene and in public life more generally. Conspiracy theories around the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities that heap violent abuse on people based on their skin color, or ?fake news? that rile up climate crisis denialism are only some of the alarming developments fueled by populist politicians and media figures. Their counterpart is the figure of the ?enraged citizen,? indignantly turning his back on established political systems and sliding ever deeper down the rabbit hole of right-wing populist distortions or irrational conspiracy theories. Democracy, it appears, is in crisis.0Prompted by these contemporary symptoms of democracy?s ailments, the exhibition 00Time for Outrage! Art in Times of Social Anger and the accompanying publication gather a wide range of renowned artistic positions that point up, reflect on, and respond to the rage and indignation that roil our society. In installations, photographs, videos, paintings, and sculptures, Monica Bonvicini, Andrea Bowers, Miriam Cahn, Thomas Hirschhorn, Hiwa K, Klara Lidén, Zanele Muholi, and many others scrutinize recent shifts in the balance of power. The about 60 works read as a seismographic study of political engagement, highlighting and analyzing inequities in our society and subjecting them to ironic critique. With essays by the curators Linda Peitz and Florian Peters-Messer and a foreword by Felix Krämer.00Exhibition: Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, Germany (27.08.2020 - 17.01.2021).
