DISLOCATIONS—in sight

in sight is the first program sequence of DISLOCATIONS. It examines how different spaces condition the (in)visibility of bodies—showing, controlling, and inscribing them into history. Queer, female*, and subcultural perspectives on archives disrupt imposed orders through moments of shift and distortion. The exhibition employs projections to highlight what often remains in the dark: videos by Philipp Gufler and Naomi Rincón Gallardo and a sculpture and video by Constantin Hartenstein appear in the dimly lit exhibition space, displayed alongside slides from galerie weisser elefant. These works contribute to a feminist reinterpretation of archival materials in a display designed by Martha Schwindling. The exhibition is in dialogue with a performance by Lola von der Gracht and Danila Lipatov’s research on queer subcultures in the late GDR.

Curated by Natalie Keppler & Agnieszka Roguski (Artistic Directors Kunst Raum Mitte)

Archive in Flux

February 18 to April 2, 2025 Kunst Raum Mitte was founded in 1987 in the GDR as galerie weisser elefant. The different stories that emanate from it are the core of the program. Through strategies of curatorial and artistic research, the stories and their perspectives are placed in new contexts.  Contemporary artists explore the historical Archive in Flux
