Advertisment for the Exhibition 2009
AUSWANDERN / MOVEMENT
Kloster Weißenohe (Alte Mälzerei), Gemeinde Weißenohe
Background
In 2009 the fifth exhibition by KunstRaum Weissenohe will take place in the small village and former monastery of Weissenohe, which is close to Nuremberg in the tourist and hiking region of Upper Franconia. After five years of experience with artistst from Germany, this will be the first international art project in Weissenohe.
Auswandern / Movement is about Man. One has left his place or familiar ground. His position might have been a geographical one, a conviction or a habit. One is no longer where he once belonged, but (knows) not yet where he wants to be. The past was impossible to stand, the future is impossible to imagine and hope became the only light. What drove him away, made him fear? What did he leave behind? What awaits him?
Terms like IDENTITY, ASYLUM, HUMAN RIGHTS and ASSIMILATION gain a dominant meaning in this context. The renaissance of mocking euphemisms in our language will be a theme, too. Just as the so called fate and its causes unveil themselves as a consequence of political action.
Intentions, planned activity
Over the years the KunstRaum exhibitions developed into a meeting point in fine arts and attracted artists and numerous visitors from the Nuremberg metropolitan region as well as from the local area. Until today the major activities of KunstRaum Weissenohe have taken place in the building and courtyard of the former monastery and its nearer periphery, mainly in the old malt production halls of the brewery and its ample attic.
In 2009 we’ll extend the exhibition into the Weissenohe surrounding area and install artworks in open spaces and natural settings: in meadows, pastures and along forests in a round trip of approximately 2.5 kilometres.
Artists from several European countries will participate in the Auswandern/Movement project and the team of curators will be international, too.
We hope to gather a wide range of contemporary art categories, above all sculptures and weather resistant pieces of art. We will also welcome European refugee and migrant organisations to accompany the indoor exhibition. The old malt production hall offers additional room for exhibition, information and any kind of performance and activity.
Organisation
A team of European (EU) curators will work out the theme and select artists from each country.
Realization
Deadline for applications (drafts, descriptions and photographs) will be April 15th, 2009. Fom this moment, we’ll start to find matching places for the chosen artwork along the footpath and prepare the ground for their erection, if necessary. The editing of the catalogue will start as soon as the collection of data is finished. Participating artists will build up their constructions on their own, helping hands will be available most of the time. The walking tour has space for more than 100 objects.
Conditions
Participation is open to everyone interested, but preferably for artists. The management has the right to select parts of the offered artwork or reject them.

Responsibility
KunstRaum Weißenohe is project and part of:
Klosterbrauerei Weißenohe, Klosterstraße 20, 91367 Weißenohe, Germany.
The sole participation in the exhibition is free of charges. Is any work of art being sold during or in connection to the exhibition, KunstRaum Weißenohe will charge 20 percent of the total amount being paid by any client. Please mind this within your calculation. All artists presenting their works on the walking tour shall get a bonus for material and shipping cost. We are furthermore planning to purchase some works of art to remain at the exhibition site. Please note: The latter conditions can take place only under the prerequesity of a sufficient budget, which is not to be foreseen at the moment (Feb 09).
Transportation and erection of the artworks will be done by the artist at his own risk. The placement of the work will be determined in cooperation with the management and can be altered until the set up is completed.
Dead line for all construction work must be July, 6th 2009!
We will help you as much as we can in transport and erection of your work. If it’s not the small money we can offer you for your participation, you might be attracted by the high number of visitors, the beautiful landscape and the extraordinary project. The Weissenohe area profits from the restaurants and beer-gardens as well as from the annual exhibitions of fine art, especially when the weather is high. We offer you a professional PR-service with reports in the local press and radio stations and we will send hundreds of personal invitations. A full documentation of the exhibition will be edited.
