Kunsthaus Bregenz exhibition explores capitalism's chilling effect on intimacy and relationships
In 2013, Kunsthaus Bregenz hosted the exhibition titled 'Love Is Colder Than Capital,' curated by Yilmaz Dziewior. This showcase delved into the effects of capitalism on personal connections, featuring a variety of artworks spread across three levels. Notable pieces included Cathy Wilkes's 'I Give You All My Money' (2008), Isa Genzken's 'Wind (C)' and '(D)' (2009), and Julika Rudelius's film 'One of Us' (2010). The exhibition also highlighted Pascale Marthine Tayou's 'Empty Gift' (2013) and Cindy Sherman's portraits, alongside Keith Haring's six-meter canvas positioned over Neïl Beloufa's video work. Andy Warhol's '15 Minutes' (1985–87) juxtaposed themes of beauty and consumerism, referencing Fassbinder's 1969 film and earlier exhibitions like 'Privacy' (2012) and 'The New Public' (2012).
