Fear
Fear is more than a feeling that we all know. Beginning with the primal anxiety regarding both physical and mental health as well as economic survival, fear stays with us throughout our lives, culminating in the fear of death. While fear may have a specific object, it often remains diffuse and harder to grasp, which makes it even more threatening. This exhibition explores both historical and contemporary dimensions of fear, concentrating particularly on fears that have shaped Jewish history and experience. It presents diverse artistic engagements with the topic, aiming to provide a nuanced and sensitive insight into the depths of human emotion. Curated by Andrea Winklbauer, designed by Fuhrer, Vienna. Featured artwork: Felix Nussbaum (1904-1944), Fear (Self-Portrait with His Niece Marianne), 1941, oil on canvas. © Museumsquartier Osnabrück, photograph by Christian Grovermann, Osnabrück.
