Backjumps – the magazine and exhibition project concerned with urban communication and aesthetics – continues its new format (Volume 4) in 2010: This time, the project space in Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien will host an exhibition especially designed for children. All works of art and installation pieces will be installed and presented according to a child ́s view.
For the second edition Volume 4.2, curator Adrian Nabi invited nine international artists, who work in the context of street art, to present their view of „childfriendly“ spaces and art experience. The exhibition takes as a starting point, that children often react very curious and enthusiastic when facing a work of art, but this is not reflected in the curatorial approaches and modes of presentation for contemporary art.
The artists will transport their experiences in exposure to urban space and the stimulus satiation of the streets into the exhibition space and translate these for children ́s eyes and senses. They will attempt to develope aesthetics forms, which adress children without being childish- and speak to adults as well. A central aspect are the workshops as an integral part of the exhibition: The space will be used for activities throughout the opening hours.
