Loneliness. Melancholy. Materiality. Shades of blue. That is not what this performance is about. ME×11 rather tackles the question of whether or not artists can still afford to talk about loneliness, melancholy, materiality and shades of blue. And to remain silent in the face of the burning Amazonian forest, the numerous political conflicts in the Middle East, right-wing extremism and bias crime.

The performance project ME×11 aims at pointing out contradictions within the contemporary art world. It tackles topics such as the social responsibility of artists and the political impact of "non-political" art. In doing so, ME×11 does not claim to define a "correct” way of doing art, but rather to initiate a discourse on the role of artists in the contemporary world.
