The exhibition
In their artistic collaboration, Veronika Veit and Erik Göngrich are developing an exhibition installation that explores the boundaries between artwork and everyday objects. The Ö_Werkstattraum in the MaximiliansForum will also be redesigned with a mobile bar by the Färberei in cooperation with Veronika Veit and Erik Göngrich/Mitkunstzentrale.
In her sculptural works, video pieces and large-format media installations, the artist Veronika Veit (Munich) translates everyday issues into complex artistic works. In a subtle way, feminist criticism and social reflection form their thematic background. She sees her concert performances SULP (with Georg Rudolph and Julia Sakas) as digital/analog sound sculptures in which stories of everyday objects, experiences and supposed consumer happiness are told.
Erik Göngrich (Berlin) works as an artist, architect and curator. Art in public space and urban development are part of his performative practice. His artistic and research work focuses on the use and transformation of urban space, which he actively shapes through sculpture. With the MITKUNSTZENTRALE, which he initiated, he has been running a workshop and laboratory together with many collaborators since 2019, in which material cycles and art are addressed in times of climate emergency.
In collaboration with the Färberei, the exhibition project is also accompanied by
Ö_Werkstätten. With the question “Utility object or art?”, the guests in the
guests can experiment by making their own “hybrid” objects. The resulting ideas sometimes become extensions of the installation.
