Under Pressure – two words oscillating between collective mood and individual experience. Whether societal pressure, divisive tendencies, ecological tipping points, psychological strain, economic restrictions, or performative stress: the present day is characterized by any number of tensions. To mark its 80th anniversary, the Künstler*innen Vereinigung Tirol, with its annual curatorial concept Under Pressure, is presenting a series of exhibition projects that foster connections and confront areas of tension as well as their consequences.
