group exhibition, Akademie Galerie Nürnberg

"The exhibition is a cooperation between the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürnberg and the Sculpture Department of the University of the Arts Helsinki. The works shown emerged during the last few days of exchange, exploration and discovery. Students from Helsinki and Nürnberg connected in Nürnberg, dealing with a variety of topics such as sustainability, eco-politics, connections between space and time and trying to find possibilities of approaching the difficult heritage, especially the Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nürnberg. We visited sights in the city where history and pre- sent merge and disected the layers of the places, continually reflecting Nürnberg and our position within it‘s architecture. How do we deal with the heritage? How is history told? Who has the power to decide how it is told? How do we remember? What perspective do we assume? How do we talk about it? Is there space to talk about it? Who is taking part in the discussion? Who is included, who is excluded?"
