The Unboxing Experience - Finissage & Food-Performance

In the organizer's words:

To round off the exhibition "The Unboxing Experience" at the Clemens Sels Museum Neuss and as part of the Neuss Culture Night, the Swiss-based artist Thi My Lien Nguyen will be showing her video work "Bellies to Fill" (2023) and literally making the space tangible for all the senses with a food performance. Her works address central themes of the exhibition - care, memory and cultural appropriation in a domestic context. How is home experienced, remembered, constructed - and to whom does it belong? In the video as well as in the performance, the artist negotiates the home as a place of female experience, intergenerational care and cultural negotiation. The private sphere becomes political: the kitchen and dining table become places of memory, resistance and collective belonging.

Film screening and food performance: 8pm - 9pm

Curator guided tours through the exhibition: 5 pm + 9 pm
