The Tower
is a mobile curatorial concept by artists Lutz Fezer, Skafte Kuhn and Michael Stumpf, that developed from the exhibition space kaiserpassage 21a. Over the past years THE TOWER manifested itself as a radio station within an exhibition context, inviting artists to produce contributions in an audio format, which are presented as live broadcasts, DJ- sets and lectures.
Who Decides?
Stadtgalerie Mannheim
6 April - 13 May 2012
A curatorial project in collaboration with Skafte Kuhn and Michael Stumpf
With: Lutz Fezer, Lotte Gertz, Agnes Karow, Verena Kunze, Claudia & Julia Müller, Scott Myles, Mick Peter, Bik van der Pol, Florian Waldvogel, Suse Weber
The project explored the 'rules' of artistic creation, production and display. Taking the medium of print as a starting point we invited other artists, designers and writers who employ printed matter as a key aspect of their practice to engage with us in a process of creative exchange.
Individual 'rules' were developed for each of the participating artists. These were made into screenprinted posters that were sent to the artists who were then invited to respond in whatever form they wished. The finished responses were combined to create an installation at the Stadtgalerie and outdoors at Q6 Mannheim.
