Architectural and social barriers between inside and outside,
the public and the private, are constantly being drawn in urban space. The site-specific subject of what is probably the most intimate place to be found in public space is addressed in the exhibition meet me being private in a scenic, sculptural and graphic way. In the historic toilet facilities of the Kunstbrücke, three artistic positions place protection and vulnerability, retreat and intimacy in a bodily and (urban) spatial context using different materials, while also looking at the socio-political dimension of such places, their conventions and power relations and at the same time provide intimate insights in an almost humorous way.
As part of the exhibition, a conversation on the topic of public spaces will be held on July 25 at 7 pm.
Participating will be Valerie Funk, Teresa Mayr, Rosa Aue & Martine Kayser (klo:lektiv), Timm Hergert and Dr. Friederike Landau-Donnely.
