⁠
⁠How about a stroll along some of the galleries and museums this weekend? Our website offers a useful tool to plan your route from one exhibition to the next. Simply click on ‚Tourplan‘ and drag and drop the exhibitions into the pop-up window.⁠ We have compiled a few exhibitions for you: ⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Rhea Myers: The Fractionalized Phallus⁠
📍 Galerie Nagel Draxler⁠
⏰ Saturday 12–6pm⁠
Myers‘ exhibition presents new works that use blockchain and cryptography to explore identity, ownership, and self-determination. From gender-challenging NFTs to generative art inspired by cypherpunk ideals, the exhibition critiques societal power structures and their resulting anxieties.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Lauren Coullard: Uncanny Valley⁠
📍 ⁠
⏰ Saturday 12–6pm⁠
Lauren Coullard’s new solo exhibition features recent paintings that blend medieval and manga imagery, further exploring portraiture and collage. Her third solo show with the gallery spans the main space and includes a large-scale wallpaper installation in the shop window.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Jonas Höschl: Point of no return⁠
📍 ⁠
⏰ Saturday 12–6pm⁠
Höschl’s installation centers on the Suzuki, inspired by its display in the RAF exhibition at the Haus der Geschichte Stuttgart. The backside features a video collage of motorcycle parts, operating instructions, a repair manual, and documentary footage of the crime, murder weapon, and scene.⁠
⁠
4️⃣ Simon Mullan: chronos⁠
📍 ⁠
⏰ Saturday 12–6pm⁠
Mullan revisits his archive with a large-scale video installation of 25 screens, offering an immersive experience that explores his past through fragmented images. The display features never-before-seen works recorded on MiniDV between 2004 and 2014, capturing raw moments from his formative years.⁠
⁠
5️⃣ Eric Meier: Völkerfreundschaft ⁠
📍 Almstadt/ Rosa-Luxemburg-Str⁠ ⁠
⁠
⏰ 24/7⁠
Eric Meier explores the unfinished, processual, and political, reflecting dystopian GDR elements and utopian future visions through provisional forms. Fused glass sculptures and concrete elements highlight the limbo between past and future.
