Lacuna - inside a dumpling
Exhibition and Program with Freshly Prepared Dumplings
“The term ‘lacuna’ designates a state for which there are no guidelines and rules, a space that can still be shaped for various activities and operations.”
The collective exhibition Lacuna – inside a dumpling takes the production of dumplings as its central point of departure. Like the empty space surrounded by a dumpling, the project itself also functions as a lacuna. It offers a site for encounters that will become filled with narrations, animations, ceramics and objects. This gives rise to an open artistic field in which a fundamental role is played by the investigation and development of common media and languages, but also by forms of interaction with the public. Beginning at noon on four Sundays during the exhibition period, the artists will activate this space with workshops and performances while simultaneously serving freshly prepared dumplings from different regions.
This exhibition in the Project Space of the Weserburg has been developed by students at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen. Lacuna – inside a dumpling is accessible to everyone during the opening times of the museum. Admission is free.
Opening: Wednesday, April 26, 2023, 6:00 p.m., free admission
On the evening of the opening, dumplings from various regions will be served: Polish pierogi, Peruvian empanadas, shish barak.
The project Lacuna—Inside a Dumpling is a collaboration between Lacuna Squat/Hochschule der Künste Bremen and the Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst.
