Ausstellung "Auf Reisen"
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition "On Journeys" is the first on the Kusntverein Wolfsburg's theme for 2025: Adventure. The concept of adventure is closely linked to the concept of hope, i.e. something that is not finished. Adventure implies a space of possibility. A journey can be the departure to such an adventure, to new experiences and new acquaintances.
The form of travel addressed in the exhibition has nothing to do with the thirst for discovery and conquest of earlier centuries; rather, the hope of extraordinary experiences is the motivation for setting off for more or less distant regions. The exhibition "On Journeys" presents works that make special experiences in places traveled to public in the form of artistic works and projects.
The video installation "Love & Luxury" by Delia Samila Naghavi Alhosini is on display. The starting point of the work is a wedding in Dubai. Based on this backdrop, the artist explores questions about the relationship between love, marriage, capitalism and patriarchy.
Devah Falcone 's photo series is located somewhere between a social and an artistic project. As co-founder and chairwoman of the Wolfsburg-based association "Bildung für Kinder in Afghanistan e. V.", she frequently travels to Afghanistan and documents her impressions there, her aim being to show a differentiated picture of Afghanistan.
In "Eating up Beirut", Till Krause documented his forays on foot through the Lebanese capital in 2005. The routes followed various instructions, and the premise was to eat a meal at every opportunity - resulting in a very idiosyncratic mapping. The sheets with the notes are presented in the exhibition.
Two videos by Atiye Noreen Lax will be shown, "Haymat" and "restlessness". Having grown up between the German-Turkish and Pakistani cultures, the examination of questions of cultural affiliation, uprootedness and wanderlust is central to her work.
