Galerie Wedding - Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst

06/05/2020

Now we are finally online with a collaborative project that has taken shape in the last months - may we stick together and come transformed out of this pause:

We need to create new forms of solidarity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With SoS Assembly, we are now starting a gathering of local artists, cultural practitioners, thinkers and activist structures in the format of a process-based exchange of ideas, sentiments, and values of solidarity. From 12th to 14th November 2020, a social and discursive platform shall be created in the framework of SoS (Soft Solidarity), the eponymous two-year exhibition program at Galerie Wedding – Space for Contemporary Art (2019-20) which functions as a membrane between daily life, art, and politics in the neighbourhood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Background:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the lockdown, we, as a curatorial team behind SoS Assembly, Övül Ö. Durmusoglu. Kathrin Pohlmann and Solvej Helweg Ovesen have been working to instigate a coming together, where we can practise, think about and create new forms of solidarity in order to reflect on a transformative challenge art poses to see beyond the current crisis.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the process of creating a platform for this discussion and being together, we will open up to the public with a series of three online keynote statements by involved thinkers from the neighborhood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first SoS statement will be held by Nataša Ilić (WHW), curator at Galerie Wedding and part of the artistic directorial team at Kunsthalle Wien, live at 7 PM on 18th May 2020 on Instagram Live at @GalerieWedding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please join us and find more information on www.galeriewedding.de (link in bio) available from 11th May 2020.

#UnitedWeShare is a new donation campaign by Artists Care About Bridges to support the civil movement @seebrueckeoffiziell.

@artistscareaboutbridges
is an activist collaboration initiated by artist Anne Duk Hee Jordan @dukhee_, curator Pauline Doureluingne @paulinedout and revoluzy @yzulover by support of @wayra_schuebel.

Please share and donate for an important and good cause!

www.seebruecke.org/unitedweshare *** Dear artists, cultural workers, freelancers and small entrepreneurs,

Last week the German government has supported many of us with an immediate financial emergency aid plan to temporarily secure our existence in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Berlin alone, more than 150,000 applications were filed and already around 1.3 billion Euro provided by the Berlin Senat has been transferred through IBB. Though not everyone was able to profit from this, many of us have gratefully received this much needed fiscal sustenance.

But there is a collective urge across all professions to redistribute a part of the funding received in order to support movements and initiatives in their efforts to leave no one behind!

For years, people have been effectively denied the opportunity to enter mainland Europe and to apply for asylum. This is without question a breach of international, human and European law.

On the Greek islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Leros and Kos, 42,000 people are being „housed“ in an unworthy manner and therefore exposed to the corona virus without any protection. There is no home for them to stay, no emergency aid program, no waiting number, no funding and no basic hygiene. It is now vitally imperative to fight for the people stuck in refugee camps on the borders of Europe.

Therefore we, Artists Care About Bridges, call for a solidaric emergency aid program by appealing to artists, cultural workers, freelancers and small entrepreneurs to unite and donate privately to SEEBRÜCKE Organization (https://seebruecke.org/) under the campaign #UnitedWeShare
