Thematically, the exhibition looks at life phases and the way they have changed in light of recent societal, ethical and technological developments. With a particular focus on the body and identity, artworks from 29 artists with very different backgrounds and from all over the world will bring K-U-K's exhibition space to life as the institution takes its first steps.
The exhibition questions the essentialism of the stages of life - from birth to adolescence and beyond. At the birth of K-U-K, the exhibition looks at the institutional phases of life and their inverted, new definitions. It's Just a Phase thus gently refines routine perceptions of life phases and their dissolution into more fluid, fluctuating, changeable, curious and performative propositions, looking at how life blends into new ways of becoming, as a kind of ongoing birth of identity (nodding, of course, in this case, to a new exhibition space, a new institution, taking its first steps into a changing reality).
