Presskuchen, pieces under pressure

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

The Presskuchen tour offers artists the opportunity to develop structures and networks across various cities. It uses the gesture of staging and the structure of the stage itself, highlighting and doubling the staged nature of exhibiting. Proceeding from the idea of bringing individual positions together that have been developed over the years, without having to subordinate them to a specific theme. The tour travels through the cities of Leipzig, Berlin, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Munich, Graz, and Vienna. - -> - - -> -->
