The empty Kunsthalle becomes the starting point for an exhibition in which the space and its walls themselves become the central protagonists. Every four weeks, five artists will successively create site-specific murals on the white walls of the Kunsthalle. Each work is temporary and is painted white again after a month while the next intervention begins.

The exhibition is an ongoing process that focuses on change, transience and the tension between visibility and disappearance. Visitors are invited to accompany this process from the blank, white wall to the painted Kunsthalle and experience different artistic approaches to mural painting. Each visit shows a different state and reveals new perspectives on the space.

As one of the oldest forms of artistic work, mural painting is closely linked to architecture and the public sphere and is simultaneously a drawing, painting, performance and spatial setting. The wall is not only a picture carrier, but also a border, resistance, projection surface and witness. Over the course of five months, a sequence of temporary inscriptions will be created in the Kunsthalle, constantly redefining and changing the location. The exhibition thus deliberately defies the logic of permanence and complete availability; it opens up space for processes, encounters and the experience of change.
