Etel Adnan and Simone Fattal: Voices without borders
Maschinenhaus M1 / M1 VideoSpace
Curator: Sébastien Delot
Voices without borders is an intimate dialogue between the artists Etel Adnan (1925, Beirut–2021, Paris) and Simone Fattal (b. 1942, Damascus; lives in Paris), two important voices from the Arab world. The exhibition reflects the multidisciplinarity in the individual and joint oeuvre of the two artists, who were also life partners, and offers insights into their artistic and literary work.
In cooperation with the Lenbachhaus in Munich and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, a comprehensive catalogue on Etel Adnan has been published by Hirmer.
Emma Talbot: In the End, the Beginning
Kesselhaus
Curator: Kathrin Becker
Emma Talbot (b. 1969 in Stourbridge, lives in London and Italy) developed a site-specific installation consisting of paintings on silk, sculptural ensembles, and hanging objects for the Kesselhaus at the KINDL, in which archaic voices are brought back to life: Furies, sirens, oracles, witches, and spirits warn of our disastrous present and point to alternatives that make a viable future conceivable.

The exhibition proposes a new, polycentric culture and brings together works by artists who work across disciplines, with painting as a point of departure. They address hustling, mixing, and queering, which overcomes and dissolves boundaries between countries, genders, age groups, digital and analogue cultures, and materials.
An exhibition catalogue will be published by Distanz, edited by Solvej Helweg Ovesen and Kathrin Becker.
In cooperation with Galerie Wedding—Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Berlin
