Opening: Saturday, 14. Oktober, 7 pm

The group exhibition INNEN brings together artistic positions that take words or language as their starting point. How do language, words and letters shape our bodies and the spaces around us? How can language and dialog - other than through writing - be depicted? In the struggle for words, in the clearing of throats, in the combination of sounds, word pictures and picture words are created. The works presented examine and negotiate – from different perspectives and partly from a feminist position - the performative aspects of language and written signs in relation to identities, institutions and spaces. The exhibition takes the upcoming gender-equitable change of the Künstlerhaus Bremen’s name in spring 2024 as an opportunity to reflect on the role and impact of words, language and typography. The works brought together in the exhibition draw the horizon of possibilities of language and conversation as well as the utopian potential that lies between INSIDE and outside, between idea and mediating word and sign.

Curated by Nadja Quante and Pio Rahner/Spacing (formerly Erlkönig)

The exhibition will be accompanied by events that tie in with the event series “A House for Artists”, which began in fall 2022.
