Isaac Chong Wai at the exhibition Out of the Box 3: Traces of Interest (14/03/2024)
Traces of Interest is the third part of an artistic-curatorial excavation of the layers and narratives contained in the ifa’s extensive art collection. The exhibition brings together ideas and art works issuing from a reflective process, which began in Fall 2021 with artists Isaac Chong Wai, Lizza May David, Wilhelm Klotzek, Ofri Lapid, Adrien Missika, and Gitte Villesen. In the previous, two-part exhibition project, titled Spheres and Chains of Interest, the artists reflected upon the mission and context of the ifa’s collecting and exhibition practice and thus opened up a dialogue for new perspectives on its inventory of East- and West-German art works.
Traces of Interest juxtaposes critical and humorous approaches and perspectives. The exhibition touches on urgent issues of today’s world and highlights the need for collective memory as well as action. The exhibition, curated by Inka Gressel and Susanne Weiß in collaboration with Wilhelm Klotzek, will be on view between March 14 and June 19, 2024 at ifa-Gallery Stuttgart.
