For many people security measures are experienced as positive and effective. However well intended though, they limit our actions. The exhibition ‘For Security Reasons’ investigates the balance between safety and playfulness and displays a critical point of view on the latest developments in security. The exhibited art shows where there is space for playfulness in a society where security measures are more or less inviolable.
Curators : Tim Braakman, Marieke de Rooij and Aline Yntema.
