KIT - Kunst im Tunnel
This is a great new gallery, in an unusual location. It's situated beneath the Rhine promenade in a dormant space between the bores of the road tunnels, which had been unused until 2006. The entrance area is a glass pavilion which faces onto the Rhine — making a great new cafe/restaurant with a gorgeous "Rheinblick". At the moment you can see an exhibition called "Happy House or Minor Repairs to the World" which looks at the issues of nationality and location. A person can reside anywhere, and in the art world, too, living and working conditions have become mobile. Graduates of the Düsseldorf Academy of Art have interpreted concepts like “home” and “at home” in the globalised age and looked at how they treat identity shift and value change in their art. I'm looking forward to the "Wrong" exhibition (title taken from the song of the same name by Depeche Mode) in March, which asks young artists to create work beyond trend; apparently at the wrong time, in the wrong place with the wrong materials. Interesting exhibitions in an interesting location - check it out.
