RE:VISION – Invitation to participate in the exhibition

 

Dear artist,

We are delighted with the high number of participants in the first phase of our anniversary project RE:VISION. Many thanks to everyone who submitted an image for our publication. While the book is now being printed, we are moving on to the next phase: our anniversary exhibition.

The exhibition shall turn the publication into an exhibit! In a spatial installation developed by Berlin based artist Marten Schech, the book will become an exhibit as well as an object of exchange. Every artist represented by name in the publication is invited to switch an exhibited copy of the book for one of their artistic works on loan for the duration of the exhibition.

The book is our gift to all those involved over the past 20 years and is only available in a limited edition. It won’t be for sale. The books can be exchanged for original artworks throughout the whole duration of the exhibition. In that way, your participation will continuously reshape the exhibition RE:VISION.

We’re looking forward to and are already excited about your submission!

Many thanks and best wishes from the Kunstverein Tiergarten,

Julia Heunemann, Ulrike Riebel und Veronika Witte
