Interactions 2024
With Interactions 2024, we once again invite you to spend the summer in the public outdoor and indoor spaces of the Bundeskunsthalle, where new works of art will complement the existing ones: Jeppe Hein’s water pavilion Circular Appearing Rooms, which is presented on the square every summer, and Carsten Höller’s Bonn Slide, which winds along the façade and rotates on its own axis.
The new works of art also invite you to play, reflect, or linger. All the works have their own story to tell, which can be discovered through interaction, but they also deal with different “visual languages” as a universal form of communication that transcends borders.
This year sees the addition of Gabriel Lester’s large installation Bouncer on the roof, which enables a collective but also individual spatial experience by passing through a series of swinging doors as if in stop-motion.
Linda Nadji offers a mental bridge between inside and outside with Meanwhile, two gilded high seats, one on the roof and one in the foyer, questioning the possibilities of communication through the unusual change of perspective.
Clare Strand’s fun fair stand All that Hoopla is a playful reflection on the mechanisms of the art market.
All these works demonstrate that art can be an open offer, serving both individual and shared experiences – a togetherness in which rigid roles and behaviours are questioned and openness, tolerance and sensitivity are encouraged. All the participating artists are interested in forms of expression and techniques that reduce the possible distance to art, as well as the distance within a complex, diverse society.
