"tiny objects" mit artburst berlin e.V.

In the organizer's words:

With the exhibition tiny objects, artburst berlin e.V. in cooperation with Haus. Kunst. Mitte. presents eight small artistic positions. The focus on the small is a deliberate counterweight to a trend we are observing: Works at art fairs, museums and galleries are becoming ever larger and more expansive in order to remain visible and relevant in the competitive art market. In its role as an honorary art association, artburst berlin wants to draw attention to the fact that this development is putting small players in the art world under increasing pressure. With the exhibition tiny objects, we therefore question size as a prerequisite for the significance of an artwork and focus on the impact of the small.

The exhibition is an aesthetic statement and shows works that are powerful and expressive not despite, but because of their small size. Each work tells its own story, such as a personal observation or an examination of feelings, family relationships or everyday phenomena. The works give the small stories of life great meaning and the small found objects a new narrative.

The works invite viewers to come close and engage in an unusually intimate contemplation. The proximity allows a view of what is often overlooked and hardly questioned in everyday life. The eight curated positions thus resolutely and deliberately place the small in the foreground - sometimes they are more, sometimes less visible: sometimes they enter into dialog with their counterpart loudly, sometimes quietly.
