Ernst Caramelle: "Im Zickzack durch die Phasen"

oder anders formuliert: ein "Tanz der verschiedenen Medien", aber immer "um den roten Faden" und natürlich "all included" …

On the occasion of his visual composition "Detail der Totalansicht", on view at the Performance Passage since June 2023, Ernst Caramelle will hold a lecture on his artistic work. Ernst Caramelle has been considered an important representative of conceptual art since the 1970s. Yet, he always executes it with a wink: according to the title of one of his exhibitions, he makes ‘very pleasant conceptual art’.

"Performance Passage. Space for Poetics of the In-between" is a curatorial project by Andrea Maurer. Each year, two visual compositions are presented on the display developed by her. Artists from various fields are invited to participate, with a focus on language-experimental positions. The spatial design of Performance Passage was devised by Christoph Meier. An accompanying publication to go with the respective installation can be purchased from the self-service machine on site.
