Hans Peter Kuhn und Junko Wada

In the organizer's words:

The internationally active artist and composer Hans Peter Kuhn (born 1952 in Kiel, lives and works in Berlin and Amino, Kyoto/Japan) is responsible for countless projects in the fields of light art, performance, dance and theater. His high artistic reputation is not only reflected in the list of his many years of exhibition activities, but also in his awards, such as the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale, which he received in 1993 together with the American artist Robert Wilson. At the same time, a connection to Schleswig-Holstein and his native city of Kiel remains relevant. In 2012, Kuhn realized the large light installation "Seafarers think of the sirens, ahoy" in the area of the Ostuferhafen and in 2022 " ... arrived in life" at the public elevator in Gaarden.

Junko Wada (born 1955 in Tokyo, lives and works in Berlin and Amino, Kyoto/Japan) began working with the movement of her body immediately after completing her studies in Tokyo, alongside her work on large-format oil paintings. She experienced her body as a brush, which she used to paint her pictures not on the canvas but in space. This practice led to collaborations with sound artists and the development of her own form of dance. She has appeared worldwide with these performances over the last 30 years. Parallel to these activities, she began painting large-format works again in 2005.

In the exhibition, these two artistic positions will enter into a relationship with each other and also establish references to Kuhn's works in Kiel's urban space. Performative painting and dance will be combined with light and sound installations to create an overall installation in the exhibition space of the Stadtgalerie Kiel.
