Lewandowsky in his exhibition addresses social and subjective loss, parodies former greatness and speaks of the pleasure in its downfall. With the example of the concepts of utopia and home he stretches an arc from the demand for radical change to a simultaneous yearning for the familiar. While home means a continuum, a recognition, a place which moves slowly, utopia stands for radical change, the new, the better, but also the unknown, for a possibility of realisation, even if it never becomes reality.
The exhibition is being held as part of the Heimat Modernism project, a joint initiative by a number of Leipzig institutions and groups, funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes.
