The artist starts the thread winder at 11 am, the process of the falling stones can be seen until 11 pm. Introduction by Dr. Verena Jendrus at 5 pm.The exhibition can be seen until April 5, 2024.

An installation with floating stones can be seen in the exhibition with the title La Caida. All the stones are connected to each other by a thread, which is released by a thread winder. The stones gradually fall onto a metal plate. The falling of the stones is reminiscent of the ticking of a clock; time seems to pass, to run out, possibly even the time we have available to us to herald a change for our climate. What remains is the sound of the stones, which can be heard in the space as a sound installation.

Another work developed by the artist especially for the art space is a drawing created by drops of water. In this case Viviana González Méndez extends her personal space from Baden, her home in Switzerland, to Stuttgart to the river Neckar.

By Flurina Badel and Jérémie Sarbach. Opening Friday, 24 March 2023 at 7:30pm. 

Introduction by Dr Verena Jendrus, art historian.

The exhibition ends on 21 April with a finissage starting at 7 pm. 

The video work Lost Waters and Found Stairs deals with the effects of man-made advance on fish in rivers. Poetic moments are combined with documentary film sequences. Among other things, the artist duo explores the question of how and whether humans can intervene in nature without completely upsetting it. Other pieces of the group of works are also on display. For example, a sculpture made of fired clay and concrete reliefs.
On the Long Night of Museums on 25 March 2023, the exhibition will be open from 6 to 1 pm. The artist duo will be present and will give guided tours of the exhibition at 7 and 9 pm.

In the exhibition blühen (blossom), each monument is created only for a single moment. Each item is found in everyday environments, especially plants in the green spaces of Stuttgart. The exhibited pieces will be borrowed, assembled for the exhibition show and then afterwards returned, if possible, otherwise recycled. The exhibition will change its appearance constantly over the period of the four weeks.

The exhibition ends on June 16, 2023 on 7 pm with an introduction of Enno Lehmann.
A publication will accompany the exhibition.

With many thanks to the sponsoring of the
