Joanna Rajkowska, Altered States. Substances in Contemporary Arts, Kunstpalais, Erlangen 4 March – 21 May 2018

The changing categorisation of a substance as a pharmaceutical, drug, hormone or doping agent suggests that this differentiation is lesser linked to the effects or dangers of a substance. (…) As an inheritance of the 19^th and 20^th century, the discourse is still heavily driven by power structures and taboos. The omnipresence of substances forces us not only to question but to consider a revision of the societal approach towards substances.
