connecting: the GREY ROOM STUDIO and the GALERIE ARTHUNGER (hosted by messing_link)

Sunday
9 November 2025
16.00 - 18.00 h - installation at the GREY ROOM STUDIO
18.00 - 19.00 h - performative walk to the GALERIE ARTHUNGER
19.00 - 21.00 h - installing an object + celebrating at the GALERIE ARTHUNGER

Karin Hatwagner’s installation, created for the GREY ROOM STUDIO, forms an arrangement that connects the presentation room with the space behind it, leading towards the garden, and with the space in front of it, opening towards the street, the Kriemhildplatz - and - moreover - the gallery ARTHUNGER, hosted by messing_link, which lies about an hour’s walk away. Within the GREY ROOM STUDIO, fixed interconnected objects amount to a situation composed of items made of diverse materials - once discarded, now objects trouvés. Through changes in lightening, sound, and movement, the visitors are challenged to explore the installation.

As part of the opening on 9 November, the situation will be extended when the artis selects an object from the GREY ROOM installation and, accompanied by visitors, carries it on an approximately one-hour walk through the city to the ARTHUNGER GALLERY. Upon reaching the gallery in the fourth district, Sankt-Elisabeth-Platz, Karin Hatwagner will install the object there. This is also where the opening of the exhibition will conclude at 9 p.m.

The immersive installation at the GREY ROOM STUDIO can be visited by appointment and will remain on view until the end of November.
