Event map
Mwangi Hutters’ exhibition »Circling Around Oneness« focuses on unity, a longterm subject of their artistic collaboration as an artist duo in a process to constantly form a unity anew.
About
They see the creation of oneness as a process of getting close, uniting and distancing oneself from one another. A whole, oneness must be created over and over again. Therefore, this is a circular movement.
The two video works by Mwangi Hutter reflect on the performative and collective nature of the duo’s endeavour, as they also involve themselves as performers as well as one of their daughters. In the installation the black and white colour sprayed window facade of the gallery takes up the signature of Mwangi Hutter – the colour combination of black and white connoting difference, opposition, exchange between people from different origins. As it turns out, the colour sprayed facade of Galerie Wedding is not a blocking, but a permeable surface; the black and white chalk is easily washed away from outside. Looking inside one sees the projection of a man and a woman who are resting on their separate beds.
