Make sugar loafs yourself
Ilona Németh's exhibition
"Eastern Sugar - Manufactory and Archive"
in the barrel vault of the Schafhof consists essentially of two parts, the so-called manufacture and the archive.
The manufactory is a room-filling, participatory installation made up of numerous workstations, where visitors can make sugar loafs themselves.
Ilona Németh's manufactory brings memories of the past to life through the fundamental human activity of handicraft.
In the course of the exhibition, a collection of "artifacts" will be created.
The archive presents Ilona Németh's research results on the Slovak sugar factories, which she has compiled with interviews, drone recordings and photographs.
The exhibition
“Crossing Borders”
shows three artistic positions that explore, question and subversively overcome the borders in and around Europe.
The Berlin artist duo Wermke / Leinkauf, in their "overcoming exercises", in which borders are crossed and walls built, an arc from the time before the fall of the Wall to the present and thematize the wall on the former German-German border.
