www.hgb-leipzig.de/galerieinstagram.com/hgbgalleryWhen dialogue is not just seen as a way to pass on information, but as a space where stories, identities, and public meaning are shaped, it becomes a way of producing “inter-views”- an understanding that knowledge is always relational and never finite.
Inter(-)Views brings together artistic approaches that use interviews and conversations in new ways. The exhibited works explore how interview formats can challenge traditional research methods in contemporary art. The interviews in the exhibition are not fixed or neutral. They unfold as open, performative encounters shaped by differences in power, expectations, and ways of speaking to one another. The works in the exhibition—radio programs, performances, films, and installations—are based on interviews that involve research, early conversations, planning, and attention to legal concerns. They move between keeping people anonymous and making certain elements visible. At times, the recording process itself can be seen or heard. This raises questions about transparency: does showing how something is made help us think more critically about representation, or does it risk repeating the same structures it aims to question?
The Inter(-)Views exhibition engages conversation and interviewing as artistic methods, bringing together students from the foundation year in media art:
Nil Al-Hashimy, Philipp Albrecht, Ehsan Azali, Hyenjin Cho, Andrei Dmitrenko, Felix Duerler, Teresa Flanderka, Anafi Kordatzaki, Yool Kwon, Seongmin Lee, Emma-Belinda Mueuersepp, Yeonwoo Park, Jannis Weu, Corinna Marie Wolff, Shirley Zama, Lijin Zhou, Yixuan Zhuang, and Alexandra Zubritskaya, from two cohorts of the Media Art program at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (HGB), together with guest artists Candice Breitz and Adrian Paci and their professors Stine Marie Jacobsen, Eli Cortiñas and Mareike Bernien – in collaboration with Ilse Lafer, curator of the HGB Gallery; Carsten Möller and Max Schneider from the HGB Audio-Video Department; Juri Groß from HGB Radio; and Radio Blau.
