The younger generation of artists has in recent years once again begun to analyse the structures of power, while discussion of the forms of resistance has become one of the main themes of artistic practice. But what does power mean to this generation? Many artists focus on governmental power and its systems, and on political trends on a more general level, but also on the effects of globalisation, racist beliefs and the reality of migration. Artists are interested in how such issues are addressed by governments or the bodies of the European Union, how they wield power that they only understand as an administrative instrument. The WHY DO YOU RESIST? exhibition focuses on works from the topical field of international contemporary art, works that use available media with the purpose of making visible control mechanisms,structures of power and representation.
