Exhibition Hall of PLATFORM @Kistlerhofstraße 70
Exhibition

Curated by Sophie-Charlotte Bombeck & Paula Nitsche

The group exhibition “Vehikel” does not display classical works of art. Instead, it is dedicated to the diverse (im)material influences on artistic creation itself. Individual materials, media, pictures, books and texts are meant to stimulate a dialogue about artistic labour.

The exhibition is inspired by the comparative image-based classification systems crafted by the art historian and cultural theorists Aby Warburg. Warburg saw individual picture compositions – he called them “image vehicles [Bilderfahrzeuge]” – as an instrument of research. The focus is thus on the associative and symbolic meta-level of the selected objects.

“Vehikel” is intended as an impulse to establish new connections and levels of interpretation, to find points of contact, to sound out the boundaries between art and everyday life, inspiration and creation – and last but not least to provide a deeper insight into the artists’ world of thought.
