Artist Talk with Gulnur Mukazhanova in German
On the occasion of the exhibition:
Jetztzeit – Layers of the Present
About the talk
Gulnur Mukazhanova conceived the installation Jetztzeit – Layers of the Present specifically for Kunsthaus Dahlem and realised it on site. During a conversation in the exhibition, we will explore the artist’s approach and the installation’s relationship to the history of the building. We will focus on her engagement with migration, history, coming to terms with the past, and cultural identities. We will also take a closer look at the material qualities of the works and gain insights into the production process. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to ask the artist your own questions directly.
Moderated by Petra Gördüren, exhibition curator, and Anne Fäser, Curator of Outreach (Kunsthaus Dahlem)
