Δ ONLINE CURATORS’ GUIDED TOUR

The making of “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”. Setting up an exhibition – in pictures.

With the curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann (Oceania curator) and co-curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski (Southeast Asia curator)

Setting up an exhibition takes just a few weeks – but that period has been preceded by many months of intensive planning that involves thinking about and developing the theme, as well as coming up with a design. Once the exhibition is set up it all seems highly coherent. The themes, the exhibits and the exhibition design are all interconnected to form a complex and meaningful whole. But what lies behind the process of developing an exhibition? How are the exhibits chosen? And what conservation conditions have to be considered? What role does the architecture of our exhibition building play in the design, what impact does the design have on the theme, and how can the exhibits be displayed appropriately? In short: what happens behind the scenes before we open the exhibition?

Curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann and co-curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski will be your guides for this glimpse behind the scenes, giving you some insights into the fascinating process of developing the exhibition “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”.

The talk will be accompanied by visuals and followed by a chat, all via Zoom.

Free of charge.
Please book in advance.

“HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. From Being Rendered Invisible and Becoming Visible”

with Julia Albrecht and Stephanie Endter, Curators of the exhibition, Weltkulturen Education

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT provides an opportunity to see or hear things from (potentially) unfamiliar perspectives. Combining objects from the collection with five artistic responses to the matter, the exhibition takes a critical stance to colonialism and its consequences, which are still felt today.

Julia Albrecht and Stephanie Endter will have a conversation about the thematic focuses of the exhibition and how they approached it as curators. The tour will also show various views and close-ups of the exhibition. The conversation will be held in english and will take place on Zoom.

Free of charge.
Please book in advance.

“HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. From Being Rendered Invisible and Becoming Visible”

With Stephanie Endter (curator, Weltkulturen Education) and Lea Steinkampf (guest curator, assistant in the Visual Anthropology department).

“Hidden in Plain Sight” provides an opportunity to see or hear things from (potentially) unfamiliar perspectives. Combining objects from the collection with five artistic responses, the exhibition takes a critical stance to colonialism and the associated consequences, which are still felt today. In this tour, Stephanie Endter and Lea Steinkampf will take you through the exhibition together.

The main focus will be on Lea Steinkampf’s curatorial contribution “Thesaurus – Politiken des Suchens und Findens” (Thesaurus – Policies for Searching and Finding). She talks about her work in the picture archive and takes three visual objects as case studies in order to look at the archival practices of arranging, labelling and classifying.  

The tour will also show various views and close-ups of the exhibition. The conversation will take place on Zoom.

Free of charge.
