Originating in the format of the salon – initially conceived as a space of creative discourse for a selected circle – Sol Calero, Peles Empire and Josip Novosel define the site KW Projects as a half-social space, between involvement and exclusion, conception and activation. The exhibiting artists are bound by their interest in social structures, which they reflect and translate spatially. The assembled works in the salon all take a specific space as their starting points and question their value and potential for transformation. The resulting "things" are hybrids – "sometimes an object,sometimes a social bond, and sometimes discourse" (Bruno Latour).

With works by Sol Calero, Josip Novosel and Peles Empire.

Curated by Maurin Dietrich and Nina Mende
