Zeigen
An Audio Tour through Berlin
05.12.2009 – 10.01.2010
Solo Exhibition
Berlin, Germany
The title of the exhibition at the Temporäre Kunsthalle is “Zeigen” (“to show”), and yet visitors only hear things. It is not just that this happens to be the title of the work, but that the specifically human ability to show is centrally important both to us artists and to curators. For, when one shows someone something, one adopts their point of view and conversely allows them to partake of one’s own. In this sense, the ability to show is not only a fundamental condition of communication, but also serves as a definition of artistic work: to open up spaces for the visible.
