WE JUST TURN EVERYTHING AROUND...
300 of us have portrayed rare islanders and visited secret places. We observe changes and simply reconstruct Wilhelmsburg, and soon the rest of the world…
We are the w9, the artist group of the Stadtteilschule Wilhelmsburg and in a big exhibition at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, we show you what really moves us. learn more...

The realism in "Realismus mit Schleife" (Realism with a Bow) is not one that reproduces images of reality, but rather one that—in all its entanglement—asks: how does one even make an image of it?

"One day, MINNA BEUFF heard the message 'Alarm' on the radio, and then on the television there was a picture of a little boy slurping noodle soup in the hall, because there was no space for him in the single room where nine people had to live. So MINNA BEUFF went back to those who had sounded the 'alarm' and let SUNDAES be sundaes."
(from Chris Reinecke: MINNA BEUFF. Alarm. Novel Part III, Büro Olympia, 1970)

In a theatrical setting the exhibition for the first time merges all parts of  "Rheingold" about the development and entanglement of democracy, economy and art as a historical and still current conglomerate of misunderstood approaches.

"Stockholm Syndrome" takes as its starting point the inculcation of social roles at the point where the individual and the collective intersect. It examines the mechanisms of identification, attribution and suggestion in terms of their performative, spatial and social aspects.

To have “Eyes in the Back of Your Head” is to know everything that is happening around you, thus transcending the physical restrictions of the human perspective. For her first solo exhibition in a German institution, Bianca Baldi will present a textile installation at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, which creates a seemingly floating labyrinth, as well as sculptures and a new video work.

Sound recordings, round table discussions and performances – Audio in contemporary art

Ruth Buchanan explores in performances, installations, sculptures, publications and films – which often include language as material – the conditions under which the processing of cultural production takes place, questioning the implicit agreements of the handling, organization, and presentation of such material and its respective formats. Or, a camera Or, a building Or, a screen focuses on the auditory and is made up of three sound works and an appendix combined with graphic, sculptural, and performative elements. Buchanan's linguistic operations are condensed text-based variations of the previously presented constituent parts of this cycle of work: a performance, an exhibition, and a film.

Hannah Weinberger has transformed six boulders from Switzerland into resonating sound boxes. The boulders are transformed into instruments through magnets inside their hollowed out centres that are activated by sound.

Daniel Laufer’s spatial arrangements combine painting, video, performance, text and music. Laufer’s exhibition at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof features paintings, objects and a two-channel video installation that was filmed partially in the Kunstverein’s galleries and the Golem club cinema in Hamburg.
