“Bakakay“
06.02.25 → 15.03.25

Group show curated by Arturas Mitinas and Monika Kornilova.
 

Bakakay combines the idea of childishness and the uncanny side of the not-yet formed. It is known that babbling infants are able to produce any sounds of human language, but when they learn to speak one specific language with its specific sounds, they lose this ability. Thinking about diverse human activities, not just verbal communication, the exhibition focuses on the potential of formlessness as well as the experimental and sensory approaches that open it up. The curators of exhibition are wondering what positive or infantilizing forces are at work in contemporary society - between lulling self-centrism and experimental openness, between escapism and productive disinterest, between alienation from one’s body and repressed, uncomfortable corporeality.

Artists: Stephanie Baechler, Sara Bajarland, Ina Budrytė, Polyrabbbt Duplicate, Monika Kornilova, Simonas Nekrošius, Artūras Mitinas, Hanna Umin.
Research: Saulė Ziziliauskas, Yaroslava Minenkova, Monika Kornilova, Lukas Mykolaitis, Artūras Mitinas, Paulius Jevsejevas.

The show is organised by:
Bakakay collective and Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association.

From geometrically ordered weavings in two dimensions to free forms in space: the exhibition shows anonymous pieces side by side with well-known positions, resulting in some surprising adjacencies of comparable perspectives from different periods.

Der Stoff, aus dem die Gegenwart besteht

Die ehemalige Webmaschinenhalle Werk2 in Arbon wird von zeitgenössischer Kunst zu neuem Leben erweckt. Unter dem Ausstellungstitel «Der Stoff, aus dem die Gegenwart besteht» sind künstlerische Positionen versammelt, die sich im weitesten Sinne mit Textilien auseinandersetzen oder Stoffe thematisieren, die unsere Gegenwart prägen – materiell oder sinnbildlich. Wasser, Waffen und Algorithmen, Identitätsfragen und soziale Interaktion: In der beeindruckenden Industriearchitektur verknüpft diese Ausstellung über Grenzen hinweg unterschiedliche Themenstränge zu einem Ganzen. Guter Stoff, der uns ein Stück weiter durch die Gegenwart zu tragen vermag.

Do Stuff! Textile Creations in New Dimensions
06.06.2025 – 02.11.2025

Textiles shape our everyday lives: they clothe, protect, decorate and conceal. They can also bear images and communicate through the interweaving of legible signs and visual narratives.

“Do Stuff!” presents current works by the renowned Swiss textile creators Stéphanie Baechler, Christoph Hefti and Sonnhild Kestler, all three of whom previously focused on textile design for fashion fabrics. In recent years, however, their individual paths have led them away from fashion and into wider spaces as they explore larger formats and other dimensions of textiles.

The exhibition delves into the world of large-format textile pictures that move between functionality, art and spatial experience. These printed, woven, knotted and embroidered works illustrate the different working methods of the three textile creators, demonstrating their technical sophistication as they seek to create expressive imagery through the effective use of materials. In this impressive show, the three artists explore textiles in new dimensions and tell stories, each using their own characteristic visual language.
