Raphaela Vogel. Die Dressur des Raumes: Zikkurat der toten Winkel

In the organizer's words:

Raphaela Vogel's works are often music and sound collages and video films inserted into sculptural and installative settings. The artist likes to use found objects, machines and techniques as well as self-produced sound and image material. Her multimedia and multidisciplinary works interact with the architectural and natural conditions of exhibition situations. This enables the public to experience special spaces whose components cannot be separated and viewed in isolation from their specific surroundings.

Raphaela Vogel has developed an expansive installation for the exhibition in the Kunsthalle. For example, she combines a historical sledge with newly produced steel elements that are designed like scales, the classic metaphor of justice, and show a new film by the artist. The conceptual starting point for this is a personal experience with structural injustice in cultural policy and the abysses of private property, which she deals with in the 14-part video projection.

Raphaela Vogel (* 1988 Nuremberg, lives in Berlin) studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nuremberg. She was a visiting professor at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe and is currently a professor at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München. The artist was part of the exhibition "The Milk of Dreams" at the Venice Biennale and has had solo exhibitions at De Pont Museum for Contemporary Art, Tilburg; Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin; Neues Museum, Nuremberg; Kunsthaus Bregenz; Haus der Kunst, Munich, and Kunsthalle Basel, among others.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog in collaboration with Kunsthalle Gießen, Synagogue de Delme, France, Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin and Le Confort Moderne, Poitiers, France
