Everything, then, passes between us
Poster zur Ausstellung
The exhibition Everything, then, passes between us shows snap-shots of urban life. It asks how forms of public or of temporary communities can be produced nowadays. The artists question fragmentary aspects of metropolises in times of global turmoil and ask for actual ideas of community and collecti-vity in the cities.

The exhibition, curated by Christine Nippe, places its focus on artistic interventions and performances in global metropolises such as Beijing, Belo Horizonte, Berlin, Cologne, London, New York and Seoul, and shows The Metropolis and Mental Life, only one hundred years after Georg Simmel’s famous essay on the mentality of the inhabitants of big cities, published in 1903.
