Win-Win Lottery

Kassel, 2022

From 18 June to 25 September 2022, artists Hannes Egger and Thomas Sterna have rented an exhibition space at KulturBahnhof Kassel and given other artists a chance to win a one-week presentation slot during documenta fifteen. Leaving the decision up to chance rather than a panel of experts, any artist, curator or exhibition organiser interested could enter the prize draw by simply purchasing a raffle ticket. The 13 winners, selected in a total of four draws, were then free to show their works without any requirements regarding content and/or aesthetic input. But not all winners decided to exhibit their own works: Some organised group exhibitions, others gave their slot away. The results varied greatly and were surprising, often breaking with conventional notions of art and standards of evaluation.
The project ended with a panel discussion in the ruruHaus at documenta fifteen with the curatorial team ruangrupa.

Sound performance and sound installation

Susanne Dundler’s instrumental piece enters a maelstrom of decline, facing things that can be, cannot be known, and that can happen any time.

She is exploring the exhibition space as a place yet to be discovered, a symbol of the complex reality as well as a symbol of the past and the present. A setting of oscillators, loudspeakers and microphones transforms the architectural structure into a resonating body of sound.
