The group exhibition is a special kind of artistic encounter: Henriette Grahnert, Jan Kummer, Nina Kummer and Tabitha Rub come from Saxony, while Sebastian Tröger and Steve Viezens come from Franconia.

Between painting, printmaking, installation and object art, areas of tension and alliances open up; irony meets nostalgia, homeland meets humour. And AI also has a hand in the game. The interplay of the works reveals critical, humorous and sometimes melancholic reflections on the state of society, art and our planet. The title "Die Wahrheit trägt bequeme Pantoffeln" (The truth wears comfortable slippers) circles like a satellite above the exhibition. This aphorism, whose origin can no longer be determined, refers to how simple and inconspicuous the truth actually is, in contrast to the elaborate, far-fetched stories or theories that people sometimes invent.
