TRACKS IN A BOX
When artists make guided tours
7 – 27 SEPTEMBER 2019 | Berlin
Tracks in a Box was a group exhibition for artistic guided tours that presented a programme of ten newly commissioned audio walks, self-guided explorations and performative tours by Berlin-based artists. It explored what a library and archive of artistic guided tours could look like. Born out of a desire to give a body to the artworks that have been produced and presented in the context of B_Tour, a nomadic curatorial platform dedicated to guiding as an artistic practice, since 2013, the exhibition took on the paradoxical challenge of exhibiting, collecting, mediating and possibly even selling inherently ephemeral, participatory and performative public artworks. Tracks in a Box approached the imagination not as an individual activity but as a collective playing field that belongs to the realm of the public, bringing together multiple overlapping and contradictory perspectives on the urban landscape.
The project was created in collaboration with CLB Berlin, and presented in the CLB pop-up gallery in the Aufbau Haus on Moritzplatz. It was realised with the kind support of the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Presentations of Contemporary Visual Art.
Interviews with co-curator Lianne Mol and artist Gabi Schaffner were broadcasted on Cashmere Radio.
