last words from the periphery II
June 2022
Curated by: Rocco a. de Filippo & Olena Legorova
With the Werkerei and a transformation of the whole surrounding area as a contextual basis, the group exhibition addresses the periphery and its changing image. An area lying on the outskirts of the city, that has become a home to a variety of companies, art studios and craft workshops, is now being demolished. Like a draft being erased to become a clean slate for a new image, this place disappears from the map to serve a more profitable purpose.
As the rejuvenation works close in on our offspace, it is fascinating to help it thrive whilst reflecting on the future. Future or fate in constant duality and continuous flux prepares or forces us to make it up as we go along. We wander and thrive, wherever and however, as part of the sights and sounds with accompanying moods.
