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.

With Martine Glod & Sarah Schleich

Curated by Sandra Schwender

At the gallery in Kassel’s former long-distance railway station, now KulturBahnhof, the artists Martine Glod and Sarah Schleich present their exhibition project ‘Um Quai 39’ (at Platform 39). With the light installation ‘All we need is light’ by Martine Glod and the spacespecific textile installation ‚Boîte à étincelles‘ by Sarah Schleich, they embark together on a journey, an exploration through light, shapes, patterns and symmetries. The space becomes a platform that suggests encounter and exchange for the artists and visitors.
