How can thinking with hyperlocal border shifts such as the fusion of Rapperswil-Jona open up new perspectives on hyper-global territorial politics and conflicts? What stories do the walls of the former arsenal protect?
(This exhibition will run in parallel to MINERVA II/IV WORKS AND DAYS. THE FABRICS OF POWER, which stays open @altefabrikrapperswil until June 21st)
Many thanks to Kunst(Zeug)Haus Rapperswil-Jona for hosting me with this guest project❣️

Curatorial Studies Gang farewell and appreciation post ❣️
With the end of this summer semester I gave up my position as teaching assistant Curatorial Studies so now I allow myself to post some pictures honouring the past three years and the amazing people involved. First of all I want to thank Anselm for all the opportunities given, learnings, and mentoring companionship! Thank you also to all my funny and welcoming colleagues for making this a collective time of learning. And last but certainly not least thank you a million to the group of students who not just became brilliant future colleagues but friends 🫶 looking forward to what’s ahead!
Find me and updates on my 2026 program @kurator.in__altefabrik
Take care!
