SCHALLWIRKUNGEN AUF MENSCH UND TIER
6 – 21 July 2016

An exhibition by Ingrid Cogne, Jonatan Habib Engqvist, Corina Oprea, Tobias Pilz, Elske Rosenfeld, Klaus Schafler, in collaboration with Peter Böhm

Schallwirkungen auf Mensch und Tier is the line between impact and disappearance. It is the diagonal in between. The exhibition works with and against the walls. It is the suspension of a temporary non-ephemeral process. The European soccer championship takes place. The exhibition is the shadow. Visitors merge with mass celebration. Schallwirkungen auf Mensch und Tier is a facilitator focusing on presence more than on the physicality of its proposition. How to hide the shadows without switching on the light? It is also a summer show. Light energy is sucked by a black hole, which in turn disappears. 2006, 2016, 2026? Backward. Working the space is the research. Long discussions about the height of the walls, no time to watch, words remove thinking. The 3rd eye is an editor. It is more than a two-week process. The exhibition is not the artwork. The space answers the exhibition. It is violent, intimate, and generous at the same time. Moods change the light. The new moon is on the 5th of July. The exhibition is not about light. Schallwirkungen auf Mensch und Tier is on display.
