EVENT LANGUAGE: GERMAN

Edith Payer transforms the KUNSTZELLE, which is already making history as a former phonebooth, into a time capsule. In the installation in “When things were smaller”, selected objects from the artist’s childhood are on display. There will be a selection curated by her, from jewelry, toys, letters and collections of the balls of ink cartridges, animal posters and much more. These exciting relicts from the 70s and 80s provide a personal insight into the private thoughts of a child and at the same time reflect the materiality of the capitalist-industrial society of the time.

At the opening Edith Payer will talk about her work, music cassettes recorded by her will be played and a small buffet with party mushrooms and pickers will be served to reminisce about old times. So memories (of older people) could be mixed with retro feelings (of younger people) in an exciting way.
