"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.

An exhibition at the darknet

Using a language of form characterised by the provisional, functionality and future promise, the Corporation of people’s situations (COPS) has installed a spatial situation at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof comprising materials and elements taken from construction sites, as well as equipment and components from the world of sport and leisure activities. Scaffolding, sheets of foil, belts and mats are deployed and adapted for different use in gymnastic exercises, as meeting places and as infrastructure for an open archive. In the sense of a mobile, modular multipurpose toolbox, which can be shifted around and reconfigured into various different parkours, the installation becomes the framework and starting point for several COPS-initiated situations.

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.

For his exhibition at KunstvereinHarburgerBahnhof, Christopher Kulendran Thomas presentsNew Eelam, a startup founded by the artist to develop a global housing subscription based on collective ownership. Together with his founding partners, Thomas proposes a long-term strategy for how a new economic model could evolve, without friction, out of the present system – through the luxury of communalism rather than private property.

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.

With KASIA FUDAKOWSKI, DANIEL LAUFER, MELVIN MOTI and a special edition in the context of Hamburger Arbeitsstipendien with INA ARZENSEK, BJÖRN BENEDITZ, JÜRGEN VON DÜCKERHOFF, ANNIKA KAHRS, MONIKA MICHALKO, VANESSA NICA MUELLER, FRANZISKA NAST, HARALD POPP and JOCHEN WEBER

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.

After "Enthusiastinnen" (Enthusiasts, 2012) and "Pessimistinnen" (Pessimists, 2013), Kasia Fudakowski continues her preoccupation with mind-sets between philosophy and everyday life. "Stoikerinnen" can be seen as 'comedy on dub' and is Fudakowski's fan-nod to the manifold audio-arts of hamburgian postpunk humourisms, as well as late 90's british radio-creations such as blue jam.

Since 1981, the Hamburg cultural department awards ten Hamburg-based artists with a one year stipend.

In his project, the "Hyperspace“ Dutch artist Melvin Moti approaches the idea of multi-dimensional and reduced spaces. His 24-minute-long 35mm film "The eightfold dot" (2013) presents an abstract narrative that begins with the point, continues with the line then progresses to the square and the cube, all the way to the hypercube, which acts as form and symbol of the fourth dimension.
