EXO - wonder what your garden looks like (Vernissage)

In the organizer's words:

The collective Exo (Kayo Goede, Christina Sauer, Marlon Bösherz and Josefine Henning Bösherz) invites you to the exhibition opening on May 16, 2025 from 7 pm at Kunsthaus Essen.

Entitled "wonder what your garden looks like", the exhibition opens a multi-layered dialog between installation, sculpture, book art, poetry and painting. In their diversity, the artistic positions resemble the diversity of a garden - as a living space full of contrasts and cycles.

The garden becomes a symbol: for life, fading and new beginnings. An invisible connection is created between the works, a concentration on the moment in which transience becomes the source of something new. The garden appears as a place of remembrance, as a meeting place for the most diverse existences - a place where the private and the public meet.

Time and again, man comes into view: as intervener, designer, cultivator. The garden can thus be experienced not only as a naturally grown space, but also as a man-made utopia of an ideal nature.

All artists will be present. There will also be a performative reading as part of the vernissage.

We look forward to your visit!

The exhibition is made possible by a grant from the Cultural Office of the City of Essen

Free admission. Pre-registration not necessary.
