Twelve ways of engaging with an artwork — a collective exhibition by students of the Minor Curatorial Practice.
Students from the Minor Curatorial Practice present twelve ways of engaging with an artwork.
Friday 24 April & Saturday 25 April 2026
How many ways are there to tell a story?
As part of the Curatorial Practice Minor we had a chance to research a piece of artwork, approach it from different angles and perspectives and find new meanings within it. The process has been intellectually and creatively stimulating, requiring us to hone our curatorial voices and explore different ways of storytelling. Through audio and video pieces we test the limits of our imagination and craft our own narratives creating a new artwork in process.
Cities on the verge of demolition, never visited and shrouded in darkness. Memories linger and the visions of the past and future collide.
After a performance, what remains? When we look at the sun, how long ago was it?
We trace the spaces where reality folds into fiction and ask what exists beyond reproduction. How do histories form perceptions?
Poetic, urgent, thought-provoking — the works on show do not provide the answers but question what we know and see.
Can art act as a witness?
Mentored by Anselm Franke, Judith Welter, Jasmina Metwaly, Nadja Schmid, Antonio Scarponi.
