Glitzer
In the organizer's words:
Glitter sparkles and flickers, fascinates and outrages. It can be found on stages as well as on protest posters and in children's rooms. Glitter is omnipresent - and yet the MK&G is the first museum in the world to dedicate an exhibition to this material. The exhibition focuses on glitter as a symbol of belonging, empowerment and self-determination and sheds light on its use in political contexts and collective movements. Around 40 international positions from art and design are dedicated to glitter as an expression of the joy of social diversity and collective exuberance, as a means of protest, performance and pop culture, as a symbol of the visualization of marginalized groups and resistance against body norms. Exhibits include a glittering youth room by Hamburg artist Jenny Schäfer, photographs by Quil Lemons, skateboards by Mickalene Thomas, GIFs by Molly Soda, show wigs by Hamburg designers Karl Gadzali and Mohamad Barakat-Götz for Olivia Jones and a stage outfit by Bill Kaulitz. Visitors are always invited to get involved - be it in the run-up to the exhibition by sending in their favorite private objects, by adding important glitter events to a sparkling timeline on the history of the material or by designing them themselves in the D.I.Y. room. Advance sales for glitter tickets and vouchers have already begun. From June 2025, the exhibition will be expanded by 300 square meters of fuchsia-colored glitter with the room installation "Puff Out" by the Turkish-Belgian duo :mentalKLINIK.
