re: Leviathan. Visuelle Formierungen von staatlicher Macht

04.12.2002 - 26.01.2003

A9-Forum Transeuropa, Wien / Österreich
quartier21, Wien / Österreich

The structures of governance, social power, and legitimate force are being redefined. A confrontation is taking place between the principle of territorial states with hierarchical structures and concepts like supranational networks, global citizenry, and temporary collectives.

The exhibition re: Leviathan will present images that are significant for these ideologies. Taking the ambignous metaphors of two exemplary texts as a starting point - Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan (1651) and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's Empire (2000) - the show explores the visual forms in which power and community manifest today....
