Tour 1 offers an enjoyable and thought-provoking introduction to the diversity of the contemporary art represented in this group exhibition. A tour for anyone who wants to know more about time-based media and the implications of the title OUT OF THE BOX.

In Tour 2, we explore the immersive situation created in installations by such artists as Jane & Louis Wilson, Gary Hill, Fischli/Weiss, or Anri Sala. We discover how their treatment of light and dark, of sound and image stimulate sense perception. How are we affected by the situations they conjure inside the box? How do they influence our imagination and perception as we move around inside the space? How do we respond to this immersive experience?

A woman climbs out of a refrigerator. Questions, at times mundane, at times profound, appear on a wall and disappear again. Odd traffic signs transmit cryptic signals. An idyllic forest suddenly bursts into flame. We come across a gloomy, oppressive bunker. Works that artists make respond and react specifically to the world in which they – and we – live. In Tour 5, we take a closer look at various scenarios to find out what the works tell us, what they show (and sometimes hide).
