EXHIBITION
Gustav-Lübcke-Museum, Hamm

25.11.2021 - 24.04.2022

"Networking" has long been a much-used everyday metaphor. The constant increase in general networking is changing all areas of human life because it is not just about programs and devices but also about human behavior and social practices. In addition, international crises and disasters are constantly and urgently calling for us to deal with complex, interwoven living conditions and narratives. It is not just people communicating with each other but also devices and machines in the 'Internet of Things.' Increasing connectivity means change, multiplication, dissemination, transformation, interweaving, condensation, but not simplification.

INTERCONNECTIONS focuses on this special momentum of diversity and complexity, which goes hand in hand with the networking of all areas of life driven by digitalization.

The exhibition at the Gustav-Lübcke-Museum Hamm presented not only a broad spectrum of original motifs and formal inventions as well as different techniques and processes - painting, drawing, printmaking, installation, performance, photography, mixed media, and digital art - but also a variety of approaches to the theme.

On display were works by Merve Baran, Lucia Danieleit, Maria Dewert, Marvin Eil, Malin Emming, Anna Helm, Finn Köhntop, Dogan Matar, David Mellin, Aron Schmidtke, Nana Seeber, Manuel Sobottka and Fred-Louis von Oettingen.

A publication designed by the Ten Ten Team Dortmund design studio in the series Dortmunder Schriften zur Kunst, Kataloge und Essays accompanies the exhibition.
