In the exhibition clubblumen, the artist examines the questions to what extent it is even possible to expressly navigate a historicisation of the eponymous project at a different site through spatial restaging in a room explicitly dedicated to exhibitions, or as to whether the unique nature of the project can remain modifiable without evoking nostalgia at the same time, or as to which particles and ephemera function as carriers of the total work of art “clubblumen,” beyond an inventory-taking and documentation of the same. On two Thursday evenings, the artist tries these theses by their practical implication and their social functioning within the exhibition parameter with two rounds of Mau Mau (a card game popular in Europe), typically played at “clubblumen.”

The second Mau Mau round will take place at January 14.
