“walk during a few moments very consciously
in a certain direction;
simultaniously an infinite number
of living creatures in the universe
are moving in an infinite number of directions.”
–stanley brouwn in Art & Project Bulletin 11, 1969


Parallel Crossings takes the text by stanley brouwn here above as its starting and crossing point. brouwn developed in his body of work a relation to the world, a relation which he constantly requalified by the act of walking and the use and reconsideration of measurements, distances and movements.

Human beings, nature, money, data, goods …, all around us, nearby or very far away, everything is continuously in flux. The artists in this exhibition do not position themselves in the focal points of current events. They move quietly and unravel the deeper nature of mankind as a species in constant motion. Through factual and imaginary movements in time and space, worlds find their ever-changing forms.

The exhibition features existing and new works by 15 artists and collectives which reveal untold stories and offer new perspectives on familiar, yet complex arguments. The sound program zooms in on the musician as a travelling artist in an ever more connected world. A selection of lectures, workshops, film and performance, offer the possibility to continue your exploration.

Parallel Crossings wishes to be a meeting place where different movements come together, almost touching or crossing each other.
