Am Seegarten
Kirchmöser
1 July – 17 September 2023
Am Seegarten is a temporary exhibition project on the fabled grounds of the former industrial town Kirchmöser. It unites the silent green Kulturquartier and nine galleries with selected positions from their programmes. Site and time specific, the exhibition approach is inspired by the compound’s rich history and complex beauty.
Among the selected of works, Heike Kabisch will be showing new and existing sculptures and drawings. Two ceramic legs bound with a muddied blanket from the 2019 series I told you to be more passionate use the architecture of the space to suggest life and movement in stillness and rest, while a fictive model captures a glimpse into the artist’s studio and into her method of production.
