The exhibition The Neoliberal Urge to Curate a Friendsgroup brings together works by Sarah Albrecht, Oliver Bleckmann, Manuel Cornelius, Sophia Gatzkan, Jill Kiddon, Luka Naujoks and Johannes Thiel and explores the neoliberal tendency to view social relationships as a strategic network – a curated portfolio of friendships, treated as a purpose-driven structure. In a culture dominated by self-promotion and social optimization, friendships are increasingly becoming a resource designed to yield personal benefits. Particularly in the art scene, many friendships have an ‘instrumental’ character – relationships are selected on the basis of aesthetics and value.
