VERNISSAGE: MITosis - Kunst zwischen Verwandlung und Verbindung

In the organizer's words:

MITosis

Art between transformation and connection

The group exhibition "MITosis" looks at the biological process of mitosis as a symbol of growth and creation and transfers it to the visual arts.

In the Kopfbau, a former airport ticket office building in Riem, we are transforming the rooms into an organism in which various aspects of mitosis are addressed metaphorically.
Mitosis refers to the process of cell division in which the genetic material, the DNA of a cell, is duplicated and distributed to two daughter cells. This fundamental, creative process becomes particularly exciting in detail: chromosomes, normally invisible, only become visible under a light microscope through mitosis. It is only during the process of cell division that the extremely thin strands spiral and condense into structures that are visible to the human eye under a light microscope. Similarly, in this
interdisciplinary exhibition, the artists' unique DNA can be seen and experienced primarily through their interaction. The "MIT" in "MITosis" stands for the central core aspect of togetherness: connection.

12 contemporary artistic positions grow together in the Riemer Kopfbau to form a living (art) body. The individual works represent the field of tension of the MITosis process between transformation and change on the one hand and fusion and connection on the other. The concept of "MITosis" combines interdisciplinarity and artistic diversity, demonstrating the power of multiplication and the beauty of hybrid connections - a living laboratory of contemporary art.
