Michaela Melián, aufheben

Soundpiece at the Hans Otte. Klanghaus and the Museum tunnel

In various languages and with different emphases, Michaela Mélian’s (*1956, lives near Munich) acoustic work lays out the diverse, in some cases contradictory meanings of the German verb aufheben which serves as its title. The multiple meanings of the single verb aufheben indicate the possibility of revealing various delimitations and contradictory standpoints and of transcending them in such a way as to open up new perspectives in thought and action.

FORT. FANTASY ISLAND

An orphaned drugstore with empty shelves. Heart-shaped balloons that glide through the exhibition. A room filled with wardrobes from which children’s songs can be heard. The exhibition FANTASY ISLAND brings together works that unsettle and captivate in equal measure. Through subtle distortions, familiar scenes and objects from everyday life take on a surreal, sometimes uncanny character. The collective of female artists entitled FORT (Alberta Niemann, *1982 in Bremen, and Jenny Kropp, *1978 in Frankfurt/Main; both live in Berlin) connects art and life in a special way.
