EXHIBITIONS
Pavilion: Laure Gilquin shows a 7-channel sound installation: seven unfired clay bowls were dissolved with water. Sounds are created, it sings, whistles and squeaks. Then everything stops. “Tonrisse” is the recording of this transformation.
Neubau ground floor foyer: exhibition of objects by Gudrun Fischer-Bomert and Tina Tahir. Impressions of water pipes, assembled into a house made of paper, citing “critical infrastructures.” Ornaments, beads and jewelry transform into military equipment. Fischer-Bomert is the winner of this year’s Schwarzenberg art prize art-figura.
Neubau 1st floor foyer: cross-media installation “Whole Hole”, a reflection on the hole in video, text and installation by Michael Walter & Rodolphe Breitenbach.
Altbau foyer: exhibition of paintings by Christiana Wirthwein-Vormbäumen. A painterly reflection on the spiritual in art between imagination and illustration.
Image motif poster: Kirstin Rabe, Strata Black, 2020 (detail). Kirstin Rabe is the winner of the Brandenburg Art Award for Graphic Art 2023.
