The artistic works displayed in the context of the FREMD exhibition, which comprise the media types film, installation, sculpture, photography and glass painting, reflect the construction of foreignness at the ethnological museum by making the typical forms of presentation for this museum type visible, thus making them an object of discussion. This occurs both in the permanent exhibition in the form of interventions, which react directly to the local situation, and in the special exhibition rooms in which the project experiences a spatial concentration. Twenty students from Clemens von Wedemeyer’s Expanded Cinema class and from Benjamin Meyer-Krahmer’s seminar representation focus their attention on this topic.
A form of cooperation by the GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig with the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig (HGB).
