Carrying the Earth to the Sky will present works by 13 artists who are currently active in the contemporary art scene in Munich, includig Ju Young Kim.
The exhibition’s curator, Magdalena Wisniowska, has meticulously chosen the works in collaboration with the artists. These will be presented together in an overarching curatorial concept at Schillerstraße 38 under the title Carrying the Earth to the Sky:
The earth is something human, something we keep under our feet. The sky high above is without air, where no living thing can breathe. Moving away from one to the other means letting go of the earth and constructions that belong to it – actions, bodies, objects, sensations and desires – until only the elements, disconnected molecules, remain.
The exhibition Carrying the Earth to the Sky brings together 13 Munich based artists, that were nominated by the members of VARIOUS OTHERS and selected by an international jury. Their artworks are multifaceted and reveal many different creative languages. When making their selection, the jury felt a need to recognize artistic production beyond fixed categories. This is the essence of letting go: to give materials and concepts space. The artworks will be presented in a temporary space, across several floors, in empty rooms, full of blue light.
