The Philara Collection is pleased to present an exhibition of a selection of its works at the Miettinen Collection in Berlin. This is part of a friendly dialogue that encompasses a reciprocal presentation by the Miettinen Collection in Philara’s exhibition space in Düsseldorf, as well as other collaborations in Potsdam and Helsinki. 

The exhibition In anderen Händen focuses on improvisation, humour, joy, desire, and resilience in dealing with contemporaneity. The works on show express impulsive feelings, physical presence, immediacy or are devoted to the stream of becoming. Using improvisation and humour – or different perspectives on the everyday – they help us to abandon our position as consumers. In addition, they often bring us humorous relief, unrestrained joy, or new sensitivities, or convey the uncanniness of everyday life, thereby reaching ‘the edge of language’.[1]
