by HOUSE OF MICE
in the Modulgalerie, Nürnberg
26 March - 26 June 2022
The focal point of the exhibition is a body of work consisting of objects that were lost, found a new use, and then transformed into art. The works installed in the modern locker gallery in the center of Nuremberg, as it were in a chamber of curiosities, raise questions for the visitors: What is the story behind the objects? Who were they linked to before they were split? And what is the meaning conveyed in them today?
In its sculptural and painterly implementation, the Polish artist collective HOUSE of mice deals with a long tradition of fascination with the storage and exhibition of precious rarities. What does it mean to collect? What can be collected at all and where does this passion reach its limits? Allegorical paintings and narratives in text and audio complement the installation work.
