Autonomy's Double Bind
<p>In this essay, Rose-Anne Gush discusses the exhibition <em>Illiberal Lives</em> at Ludwig Forum in Aachen, examining how unfreedom subtends art’s freedom, with attention given to its conflicted and ambivalent national impulses and representations. Her remarks center on the exhibition’s conceptualization and on specific positions within it that reveal this unfreedom in liberalism’s unfulfilled promises. The essay critically reflects on works evoking images and practices that attempt to exist beyond the capture of liberalism’s institutions.</p>
