The Paris Calligrammes exhibition is complemented by a program presented by Ulrike Ottinger of films that inspired her work. Films like La Chinoise by icons such as Jean-Luc Godard or documentaries about the Algerian War enlarge upon the themes of her landscape of remembrance.

Repeat after me

How does it feel to talk with computer controlled voices and algorithms? What are the moral principles underlying them and can they be outsmarted? Two interactive installations by the Moniker art and design office activate both play instincts and resistance at the same time.

Until Oct 13

Paris Calligrammes

In her exhibition, the filmmaker and photographer Ulrike Ottinger collages art, archival materials and film works to chart a city and its utopias. Memories of 1960s Paris, depictions of decolonial movements as well as a workshop of her upcoming film Paris Calligrammes will come together in a walkable street.

Oct 18, 2019 - Jan 6, 2020

Love and Ethnology

Can the ethnographic gaze be “given back,” restituted? The exhibition takes up topics related to writer and traveler Hubert Fichte (1935-1986), from Hamburg’s gay 1960s subculture to arts and religions of the African diaspora and a utopia of sensitivity. With works by Kader Attia, Papisto Boy, Renée Green, Euridice Kala, Tiona Nekkia McClodden and many others.
