Intermezzo
The Art of the Palliative Turn
Art for the End of Our Way of Life

// Exhibition
Bauhaus Museum Dessau, Black Box

// Exhibition
Bauhaus Museum Dessau, Black Box

In 2020, the artist Olav Westphalen (born 1963) initiated the Association for the Palliative Turn, a loosely connected group of international artists. Since then, its members have focused on the artistic potentials of dealing with death, palliation, and leave-taking in a range of media and event formats that make use of humour, generosity, delight, and reflection. In the practice of life, the human body is inevitably awarded the role of a medium. The various limitations that bodies impose on people are as much a part of this as all singular sensory perceptions and experiences.

With clothes that can be transformed into prayer rugs, the project examines the idea of the mosque space, its formal boundaries and its relationship to the human body. While respecting religious rules, the Nomadic Mosque aims to redefine the traditional forms and functions of mosques in a contemporary context.

The physical body as a kind of learning tool straddling play, sport, and performance “on demand” forms the focal point of this experimental research and cooperation project. In collaboration with the Curatorial Workshop’s cultural outreach programme, Corina Forthuber and students from the Gestaltung: Technik.Textil course of study at the Mozarteum University Salzburg address the ideational history of the “learning body” and carry out experiments to explore the ability to remember, physical action, and the physical sensor system.

Isa Rosenberger

// Exhibition
Bauhaus Building

// Exhibition
Bauhaus Building

In association with the dancer Celia Millan, Rosenberger invokes the experimental mood of the historic Bauhaus in the storage of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, turning it into a stage to explore – through film and dance – (forgotten) Bauhaus histories and the neglected stories of the women of the Bauhaus. In the process, Rosenberger asks general questions about the memories of museums and their responsibilities in the process of writing history.
