Eight years' worth of layers of paint...
or Happy Improper Birthday!
Do you remember where you were on May 16, 2014, that magic day our favorite cultural space was born?
While the concept of the 'gallery' is naturally developing and re-structuring alongside the team—at this point, the walls of Reindorfgasse 42 experienced enough to bear at least fragments of the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything—and we want to thank YOU, for that!
Thank you for visiting and supporting, spreading the word, staying with us online during lockdowns and returning after we were finally free to open our doors again. Co-creating with us, you turned the audience into the community, and for that, we are immensely grateful!
Even though we are not throwing a proper Birthday party this year, you still get a chance to reminisce over the past years or ask the founders about the origin story! Come to the Vernissage of Hast du Lust? on Wednesday, May 25, to celebrate while discussing the relationship between sexual pleasure and mental health.
Until then, read about a few things that can impact them: state's (de)regulation and censorship of public space, art and our online lives, and how we (are supposed to) perceive our bodies through (lack of) media representation. Edition #21 features GORSAD, Oscar Cueto, Pedro del Real, and Merybell Nabilah Reynoso.
Enjoy!
