The curator of the exhibition Anna Hofner ex-Prvulović* explains: "Whiteness as Property. Racism and Ownership seeks to examine the racialized relations of ownership from an economic, materialist perspective. The focus of the exhibition is the critical-aesthetic art practices that are interested in the relationship to ownership and governance. The selection of artists and works shows artistic strategies as decisive instruments for dealing with possessive individualism, and examines whether art can be a source of alternative subject/object models of possession that critically address racism."
