(eine vorübergehende Abschieds-Party-Ausstellung in der Galerie Speckstraße) das Gängeviertel Hamburg

invited by the curator Dagmar Rauwald

description
The CIVIL WILDERNESS rule „No Changes!“ responds to the strange title of the exhibition that reminds a Freudian slip: “Bye bye” seemingly slipped to “buy, buy”, possibly relating to fears of irrevocable changes in style and ambiance of the wild, romanticized, ruinous, anticapitalist icon “Galerie Speckstraße” after a renovation, scheduled 2020-2022. The location of a viewer, the direction of the gaze towards this old window, giving on the gallery’s backyard and lanes (“Gänge”) may remain exactly the same, but how not to change procedure here?
