Examining object biography, material manipulation and the process of building meaning, Construct is an exhibition exploring the very essence of its definition. The term construct defines the act of building or uniting materials to formulate a second structure, a second meaning. Through the lens of various materials and methods of assemblage, this exhibition examines the purpose of construction as a means of communication.

Veritas Vermibus @ Caprii, Düsseldorf, 8. März – 3. Apr. 2024
Worms are masters of camouflage.
They often live covertly—underground, inside humans—and oscillate in their natural function between benefit and detriment. In the exhibition Veritas Vermibus, they act as a key to the truth.
Seemingly discarded and yet shimmering with promise, an overturned gaming chair—a recurring element of the artist's work—lies on a dark pile of sand. The scene exudes an apocalyptic atmosphere and, thanks to the unmistakable design of the furniture, refers directly to the possible worlds of the digital, while at the same time a mysterious narrative unfolds through the pure setting.
35 international JUNGE AKADEMIE scholarship holders present their new works in an exhibition accompanied by a series of events. The title “The Breath of a House is the Sound of Voices Within”, a quote by the American architect John Hejduk (1929 – 2000), emphasises the field of tension between body and space, politics and poetry, but also mysticism and nature, introspection and the outer gaze, in which the artists move.
