Aristotle characterized the human being as a “Zoon politikon”, a social as well as political creature that enters into interpersonal relationships. Even today, despite an increasingly individualized society, humans maintain complex, reciprocal relationships with their environment. Partnerships, family relationships, friendships and other emotional bonds define an intertwined mesh of relations.
The international group exhibition Something Between Us addresses the topic of the human being as a social animal, as “Zoon politikon”. It investigates the anthropological constants of interpersonal relationships, such as love, empathy, emotional security, caring and safety, on the one hand, and yet, on the other hand, there is hate, fixation on roles, dependency, reprimand and discrimination. Something Between Us also explores in which way the complex structures of interaction and reciprocity are changing in our digital age. Spanning various genres – painting, drawing, film, sculptural installation and performance – the exhibition features works by international artists who have, in an impressive manner, probed into the fundamental questions of (inter-)human existence.
The exhibition is based on a cooperation between the art institution KAI 10 | ARTHENA FOUNDATION and the Kunsthalle Nürnberg, jointly curated by Ludwig Seyfarth (KAI 10 | ARTHENA FOUNDATION) and Harriet Zilch (Kunsthalle Nürnberg).

Artist Talk | GANGSTER BACKSTAGE
Two films by the filmmaker Teboho Edkins, who grew up in Lesotho, Africa, are shown in the exhibition Something Between Us in KAI 10 | ARTHENA FOUNDATION: Gangster Backstage (2013) with protagonists from criminal milieus in Cape Town, and Shepherds (2018-2020), shot in a prison with rustlers in Lesotho. Shepherds has received several awards at this year's International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen. At the Berlinale 2020 his documentary Days of Cannibalism premiered, which deals with a new relationship between China and Africa. During the artist talk, Teboho Edkins will talk with curator Ludwig Seyfarth about his working method, which has earned him recognition in both the film and art scene.
