Emerging from beneath the surface—both physically, from a

residency in a WWII bunker in the Czech Republic, and collectively,

through shared experimentation and conversation—the Common

Thread Experiment steps into the charged architecture of the

Gängeviertel. This new exhibition, where there's an outside there's also

an inside, marks a shift from introspective dialogues held underground

to a public convergence in one of Hamburg’s most symbolically

resonant spaces.

​

Rooted in the anarchist history of the Gängeviertel and the

communal ethos of MOM art space, the exhibition treats MOM, the

Gängeviertel, and the surrounding city as a layered meta-architecture.

Artists living in Hamburg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and New Y ork

consider the porous boundaries between interior and exterior, public

and private, self and system, body and structure within a post-

democratic framework. Text by curator Landon Wilson
