黑料不打烊

In Greco-Roman mythology, the Oneiroi (dreams) are the many children of Nyx (night) and Hypnos (sleep). Led by the brothers Morpheus, Phobetor, and Phantasos, they are the mutable and many-headed family of dreams who create and direct the images of our sleep and imagination. In this role, they provide the appropriate title and theme for the final edition of our exhibition series WELTEN WANDELN on contemporary forms of magical realism and surrealism at the Kunstverein G枚ttingen.

This final presentation of the exhibition series in 2024 is dedicated entirely to the multimedia installations of the two artists Geng Xue and Runa Ikeda. In their individual groups of works, the artists from China and Japan both combine the aesthetics and narratives of their diverse home cultures with personal content in a unique, somnambulistic expressiveness. Geng Xue鈥檚 works are dominated by the finest porcelain sculptures, while Runa Ikeda鈥檚 are colourful paintings on large fabric banners. In this way, both artists create an inspiring, artistic world between reality, dream and narrative. The finale in the exhibition rooms of the Altes Rathaus G枚ttingen brings the two artists鈥� world drafts together in the rooms for the first time worldwide, reveals new references and expands the fantastic potential of their works.
