How do borders become visible in our world? How are they perceived? And how do they influence the everyday realities of migrants? By means of exhibitions, a programme of discussions, concerst and filmscreenings, as well as a publication, the project "grenzlinien/borderlines" adresses these questions.
Gallery of the University Library Giessen
14.11.2013-15.01.2014, Eröffnung 14.11.2013, 18.00 Uhr
Otto-Behaghel-Straße 8, 35394 Giessen
Open during the opening hours of the library (daily 08.30-23.00).
The "grenzlinien" exhibitions are always developing, they adapt to the local context and in relation to the venue. In the special space of the university library a combination of a presentation of the publication and an exhibition will be realised. Euro-pallets, which in the globalised world have become a metaphor for transnational movement, will be used as exhibition architecture. Ropes establish connections between the textual-academic and the artistic-aesthetic works and show interconnections.

22.05.-05.06.2010 Rheinufer Mainz
Kultursommer RLP 2010
For the exhibition project "borderlines" in Mainz overseas containers are used as temporary exhibition venues. The containers are placed at the shore of the Rhein, a place which stands for the international transit of goods but as well of meaning and world-views. The works which are shown in the exhibition link in with this year's Kultursommer topic "beyond borders". They deal with cultural and geographic as well as personal border constructions and transgressions. This also shows itself in the diverse artistic approaches of the invited artists which open associative spaces in (video-) installations, photography, collage, performance, and sculptural works. In addition the project offers a variety of corresponding events like film screening, concerts and talks. See some pictures of the show.
