The central theme of the exhibition is love and its extremes, such as passion and pain, intimacy and distance, as well as longing and letting go.
The group exhibition seeks to present, from as many different perspectives as possible, how love can be captured using the tools of contemporary visual art. The exhibited works use a variety of techniques to express the simultaneously immaterial and fleshly profane dimensions of love, while connecting individual experiences with universal codes.
The aim of the exhibition is to initiate a dialogue with the visitor through sensitization. What does love mean on an individual, group, and social level? How is it shaped in our contemporary culture? How does it influence the visual arts, and how does love shape artistic discourse?
Love is universal, yet personal and unique—this duality is the main message of the exhibition. Fckn Love IV is not only about romantic love, but also encompasses self-love and the importance of friendship, as well as the entire journey from passion through vulnerability to the process of healing.
