Phung-Tien Phan's work revolves around questions about the meaning of life, the status quo that is consumed within it, and the roles one falls into all too easily, not to mention the ruptures between them that happen every day and the cultural contradictions that emerge.

Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof is pleased to announce the first institutional solo show by Phung-Tien Phan!

Paul Kolling (* 1993) deals with infrastructural and economic processes and their geopolitical, ecological and social implications.
His latest project “Break of Gauge” (2019/20) is dedicated to the complexity of the Eurasian freight networks, to the so-called New Silk Road between Zhengzhou and Hamburg.

In a time marked by conflicts, Dara Friedman's new video work "Temple Door" opposes the superficial dichotomies of winning and losing. Guided by the credo that true victory is a victory over oneself, she examines the structures underlying confrontation, conflict, and negotiation.

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.
