About

[Out of Office], known to most people as the subject line of an automatically generated out- of-office message, means to move outside the daily routine of one's job and thus implies both a place of longing and a projection surface: time and space to pause, not to escape bad news, fake news, world affairs and the pressure to perform, but at least to gain distance for a brief moment in order to explore new perspectives and coping mechanisms. This is exactly how the artists in the exhibition procede, each in their own unique way.
