Research Area B Parcours Exhibition in Heidelberg (B16)

Project Leader: Melanie Trede

The proposed exhibition was part of the workshop, “Gender and Body in the Contemporary Arts” included in project B8 “Rethinking Gender, Sexuality and the Body in a Transcultural Art World.” Selected speakers included curators and artists, who addressed experiences when organising or showing art works in exhibitions in Asia, Europe and the US. The exhibition was shown in various locations throughout the city of Heidelberg and featured works by renowned artists, some of whom spoke during the workshop. The aim was to render the cluster’s activities visible to the public, and raise awareness and provide spaces for discussing the pivotal categories of Gender, Sexuality and the Body within the realm of the visual arts. The show was curated by Martina Koeppel-Yang, who provides a long history in curating contemporary art shows with a focus on Asian cultures. The show was documented in an exhibition catalogue, authored by the curator.
