NEWCOMER becomes a multiverse –
Gruppe Stumpf shows the exhibition SCREENPLAY
The artists Jan Neukirchen and Christian Lohre have been working together as Gruppe Stumpf since 2014 in the field of tension between sculpture, installation, sound art and performance.
The artists have developed a concept especially for NEWCOMER that separates the interior and exterior spaces of the gallery, but also connects them again. In this way, they allow the controversial features mentioned above to interact with each other. Visitors experience a very special spatial and sensory experience by means of projection machines that transport sound and image productions.
The exhibition can be seen until February 3, 2024 in the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge at Tiedexer Straße 20 in Einbeck.

Visitors to the exhibition should not come to the gallery with too much information, they should make their own experiences, advised Dr. Thomas Becker, cultural scientist at Humboldt-University in Berlin, at the vernissage. "Senses build on each other, and that is the topic here," said Becker. The so-called distance senses or intelligence senses of sight and hearing complement each other. What you hear is not what you see in the rooms. Likewise, you can see through the spyholes without hearing anything.
Look forward to the insights.
