“Visitors” takes as its focus the works of international students from HfG Karlsruhe. The exhibition aims to shed light on the different geographical, political and economic backgrounds that come together in our institution. Two main resources for our work will be HfG's archiving platform Madek and its analogue exhibition interface Portal that the HfG Open Resource Center has been developing.
How do people from abroad who study at the HfG shape the place? How do international students contribute to and challenge the HfG? We will work on preparing and realizing an exhibition based on diploma works of international students from previous generations.
For Visitors we have imagined an alternative geography or an alternative biography of HfG. It is designed around people who ‘visit’ and explore what that challenging gesture means.
