Swimming Pool’s second project: us is an exhibition in collaboration with eight art spaces. Together we stage a series of curatorial and artistic interventions at the premises of space and turn Swimming Pool into an open house of us.
us is more an approximation than an entity; a suggestion than a closure; an impulse than a structure. And then, there are these moments of encounter when thoughts meet, togetherness arises and ideas start to grow. We wish to celebrate them with you.
A project on irregularity, hospitality & desire. And also a conversation about what are the art spaces that our society today urgently needs – as these places are actually what “us” consists of.
Featuring works by Ghislain Amar, Anna Łuczak, Hunter Longe and Daniel Stempfer as well as curatorial interventions by all invited project spaces.
