Our Beloved Kin

Tandem tour - Animals, Plants, and Other Beings

Eröffnung der Wechselausstellung "Sich verwandt machen"

In this joint tour, curator Ute Marxreiter and biologist Susanne Lanckowsky will introduce you to the living creatures and other entities with which the contemporary artists featured in the temporary exhibition Making Kin engage relationships. Their diverse practices converge in the understanding that we are all woven into a dynamic web of relationships: with other people, animals, plants, spiritual beings, the cosmos—but also with our office chair.
In this way, Catherine Blackburn feels connected not only to her ancestors and the Dené people, but also to the reindeer of her Canadian homeland. The Myanmar-born ceramic artist Soe Yu Nwe owes her name to three godmothers, two of whom are a tree and a well. Through her exploration of Korean shamanism and the ritual use of mulberry paper, Hague Yang establishes connections to the spiritual dimension in her work.
Moorhens, bison, and a leguan girl join the ranks of the friends and relatives you will encounter during this entertaining tour.
