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.

First Person, Third Person, Same Person

First Person, Third Person, Same Person focuses on the cinematic work of Grada Kilomba, Manthia Diawara, Dora García, Olivia Plender and Clara Ianni. The films’ stories have in common the assembling of news, testimonials, memories, documents, diaries, books whose multifaceted collage-like view of historical facts resonate with contemporary circumstances.
