The artists’ collective Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt presents materials taken from a range of formal and functional contexts as a spatial narrative that begins at the exhibition site. The work of art evolves on site through a process of negotiation and consolidation sustained by the group as a single collective actor. The new juxtapositions of the materials brought together create blind spots where standard categories no longer apply and an alternative way of seeing and experiencing is evoked.
Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt is less of a group name than a working title. It stands for a collective exploration and testing of a visual language. The composition of the group changes from exhibition to exhibition.
This presentation is divided into two parts which take place parallel to each other in the Ludwig Forum, Aachen, and the Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp.
The exhibitions are staged within the framework of the collaborative project “Europäische Partnerschaften” (European Partnerships) between the Goethe Institute and the Kunststiftung NRW (Arts Foundation NRW).
Artists of the Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt participating in this project: Michiel Alberts, Lara Dhondt, Michael Dobrindt, Markus Hahn, Stef Heidhues, Marcel Hiller, Suchan Kinoshita, Tamara Lorenz, Thomas Musehold, Martin Schepers, Sebastian Walther, Hans Wuyts, Markus Zimmermann and Anna Zwingl.
Curated by: Anna Sophia Schultz in cooperation with the Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp.
