State and Nature – Preludes in public space
26.3.2021
State and Nature – Preludes in public space
30.03. – 31.10.2021
The Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden is pleased to announce four new artistic works by Yael Bartana, Jan St. Werner, DAF (Dynamic Acoustic Research), and Sunette L. Viljoen and Egemen Demirci for public urban spaces as part of State and Nature.
Based on the parkland surrounding the institution, the yearlong program explores the mutable relationship between state and nature. Interpreting institutional identity as “state” and nature as a resource plays a crucial role in re-evaluating politics of representation, attributions of self and other, and social and economic infrastructures.
Before the eponymous major exhibition opens on July 16th 2021, the program will start in Spring with four works installed in public spaces, the so-called Preludes, playfully setting subversive accents and contrasts in the surroundings of the Kunsthalle. The artistic works refer to different sensual and medial processes such as photography, sculpture, and sound installation. They establish a multi-layered and nuanced connection to their immediate environment and, in the current pandemic situation, can be experienced by the audience open-air.

VALIE EXPORT. Fragments of a Touch
7.10.2020
Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden presents the solo exhibition “VALIE EXPORT. Fragments of a Touch” from October 31st until April 5th, 2020. The exhibition focuses on installations and groups of works that highlight a special moment in the artist’s œuvre: touch. The theme of touch is not only to be understood in the physical sense but also includes a media-reflective level. It functions as a definition of the border or even as the transition between realities: between image and space, matter and emptiness, body and environment. Especially in times of social distancing and the Covid-19 pandemic, the theme of the exhibition takes on a special relevance: will it still be possible this year to return to old patterns of behaviour and contact or will the theme of contact and touch remain fragmented, as indicated in the exhibition title?
The pointing to and crossing of boundaries can be found in various media in the œuvre of VALIE EXPORT – both in room-sized installations and in her films. The exhibition will thus show that the means and forms of expression used by VALIE EXPORT are often based on precise observations and analyses of social and media constructions. VALIE EXPORT is considered a pioneer of “expanded cinema”, conceptual photography, installation, performance, work with text and theory. This is also reflected in the selection of works for the solo exhibition: Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden presents not only large room installations but also a selection of her cinematic work, which is presented in a separate cinema space. The exhibition departs from the usual chronological arrangement of monographic exhibitions and also from the frequently exhibited works from the early creative years of EXPORT. Rather, it follows a deliberate curatorial decision that emphasizes the complexity and interlocking of the most diverse works and media in order to show the development of the artistic motifs, their semantic shifts, their divergent media character, and the diversity of approaches to the theme of touch.
The exhibition is curated by Luisa Heese and Hendrik Bündge, co-curated by Carolin Potthast.
