daHEIM: glances into fugitive lives

06.03.2016 daHEIM HEIMart

The museum of European cultures and KunstAsyl had invited to the opening event of a four month workshop, dealing with the creation of a mutual living environment for humans with a home and without.

KunstAsyl hoisted its flag at 5 pm outside of the museum as a symbol of the "friendly take over" of the special exhibition space at the museum of European cultures. With a performance that lasted for several hours, the KunstAsyl community engraved itself on exhibition walls.

For the next four months the rooms are open to the public until the actual exposition starts on July 21, 2016.

"For the daring which encounters the sea must at the same time embrace wariness—cunning - since it has to do with the treacherous, the most unreliable and deceitful element. This boundless plain is absolutely yielding—withstanding no pressure, not even a breath of wind. It looks boundlessly innocent, submissive, friendly, and insinuating; and it is exactly this submissiveness which changes the sea into the most dangerous and violent element." (Hegel)
