Elmgreen & Dragset - Wer wir sind. miteinander gegenüber #12
In the organizer's words:
The twelfth edition of the series "facing each other" deals with the central question of the different characteristics, faces and attitudes that make up a person or an institution such as the Kunsthalle. In this juxtaposition, a work by the Scandinavian artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset (Michael Elmgreen, *1961 and Ingar Dragset, *1969) from the Haubrok Collection meets several works from the Kunsthalle Bielefeld's current collection exhibition. Who are we? What characterizes us or something? How do we recognize the specific characteristics of a person or an institution like the Kunsthalle?
In the work "Found Identity" (2009) by Elmgreen & Dragset, the focus is on an everyday object: the wallet and the documents it contains, which seem to provide information about the identity of the owner. But can a person be characterized by this data alone?
The collection of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld is constantly being expanded through acquisitions and has a focus on 20th and 21st century art, which is presented in changing exhibition constellations. So what shapes the museum when the Kunsthalle is constantly changing due to the changing works and perceptions of different people? And do individual works of art shape, form and define the essence of an institution?
