Series - Amant

We present solo exhibitions and long-term projects by local and international artists whose work connects art with other cultural disciplines. We further explore these relations through screenings, performances, lecture series, publications, or workshops. Our public programs also provide a forum for our artists in residence to share their upcoming projects and research.

In developing projects, we act as companions to the artists and aim to slow down the art-making process. We tend to unfold our exhibitions over longer time periods and conceive of them as chapters or installments. Our approach is informed by Study Lines that bring together contexts, collaborations, ideas and issues, residents, and projects. We are interested in nurturing new meanings and non-hierarchical forms of knowledge rather than in dividing disciplines. Our current Study Lines are Showing-Doing and Hearing Voices.

With our ongoing series, we look at things in a longer timeframe, beyond the limits of a single exhibition or event. We weave together insights and build further on what was seen, done, heard, or touched upon in other parts of our program. We do this through a variety of formats (from screenings and more formal talks to social gatherings and offsite visits) and approaches, some of which highlight artists and thinkers while others emphasize communal experience.

Open Exchange offers a platform for audience members and special guests to sit together in an open, non-hierarchical way and create a space for narratives and knowledge that are collectively formed and shared via storytelling, music listening parties, Indigenous talking circles, and spiritual teaching and healing sessions, among other forms.
