Isaac Chong Wai at the exhibition Shared Spaces at Kunsthalle Barmen (18/10/2024)
The inaugural exhibition Shared Spaces unites museum space and urban space. The exhibition moves between social cohesion and the impression to be thrown back on oneself, between the creation of an identity, speechlessness and the questioning of social norms and rituals. It invites the visitors to discover the strengths of communities and to meet other people in a new way.
Chong’s Falling Reversely is based on racist attacks in public spaces that many people of Asian descent, including the artist himself, have experienced. Falling Reversely is an attempt to reverse the movements of falling – a touching, solidary and empowering gesture. The performance will be performed on January 11 at 4 pm in the Kunsthalle Barmen for the finissage of the exhibition. The exhibition will be on view from October 18, 2024 to January 11, 2025.
