Kunsthalle Fridericianum: San Keller

The development of the project Pre-, Pre-, Pre-, Pre-, Preview is entering the final phase. Following four public conversations between San Keller and Rein Wolfs revolving around the preparation of an exhibition by the Swiss artist, the concrete planning of the ideas they discussed begins on 1 April 2011 with Preview. The idea of public curating continues to play a key role. Keller would like the basis of the exhibition to be videotaped conferences that he carries out with different artists. Together with Rein Wolfs, Keller wants to extract drafts from these statements and from dialogues or conferences with several artists and combine different lines of thought into a presentation. For Wolfs, the curatorial challenge will be to transfer this collective creativity into a concrete exhibition.

On 2 and 3 April 2011, San Keller is offering his Digestiv (Walk) again. Visitors to the Kunsthalle Fridericianum are invited to discuss the exhibitions of Andro Wekua and Nina Canell with Keller during a stroll. The results will subsequently be published and, like the talks on previous exhibitions, be available at the Kunsthalle Fridericianum.
