“Extreme class differences collide within the field of art. The promise of an art-world career is often accompanied by lived realities and conditions of production entrenched in precarity; behind the glamourous image of the artist lurk shrouded poverty and relations of dependence. We want to talk about how strongly social background influences access and careers, and how art production is largely dependent on economic, social, and cultural capital. The exhibition sheds light on structural disadvantages and negotiates questions that erupt within the field of art due to the effects of classism.” (Text excerpt from the press release by courtesy of nGbK & Berlinische Galerie)

The project is a collaboration between the neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) and the Berlinische Galerie.
