"“A one-way ticket to Venray” was for a long time a well-known expression for admission to a psychiatric institution. For many, this also meant a forced isolation from society. In the twentieth century, Venray grew into the psychiatric center of Limburg, with separate facilities for men and women. Patients were treated there according to the insights of the time, but often lost their individuality and autonomy in the process.

Drawing on this history, guest curator Louisa Vergozisi curates the exhibition One Way Ticket. She brings together four artists who, each from their own practice, explore identity, consciousness, spirituality, and the post-humanist. Their work shows that the human psyche cannot be easily captured or defined.

Against the backdrop of the history of psychiatry, the exhibition also raises topical questions about humanity in an era where identity is shaped online, partly by artificial intelligence. What makes us human? One Way Ticket invites visitors not to view the psyche as a medical object that can be fully explained or controlled, but as an open space in which identity, body, memory, and imagination interact."

A third iteration of the work 'partition #8 (sound clouds & shields') is on view.
