"Community presumes deprivation." This headline from the Esslinger Zeitung introduces 'Good Space,' an exhibition that explores community formation through contemporary art. The show highlights social diversity emerging from exchange, where cohesion is defined by shared values, identity concepts, norms, and rules. However, it also addresses the inherent aspects of delimitation and exclusion, raising critical questions about the sense of 'we' and its political implications. The artworks navigate power structures, reflecting on the lasting impacts of colonialism, while examining the intersection of technology and spirituality. They challenge the notion of a free, self-determined life filled with universal happiness, advocating for unconditional respect for animal rights and revealing the complex relationship between humans and animals. Additionally, the exhibition inspects the connection between culture and nature through plant communities and critiques residential concepts in Brutalist architecture. It emphasizes how films create communal experiences beyond the screening room, and offers a glimpse into the isolated world of a submarine crew, inviting viewers to reflect on the multifaceted nature of community and belonging.
