Based on the image of a space without walls, the workshop serves as a testing ground for situations of relinquishing and assuming—whether it be trust, one’s own work, a concept, or one’s own place. Successful relinquishment on one side depends on a willing assumption on the other. This means not only taking on responsibility, but also engaging with a particular interpretation or one’s own sense of being overwhelmed.
The workshop will explore what happens when one’s own work is entrusted to another person for installation in the space, while at the same time one is entrusted with the responsibility of installing someone else’s work. What can I learn by entrusting my work to someone else, and what happens to me when I take on the responsibility for installing someone else’s work? Might we ultimately even conceive of the relationship between taking on and entrusting in an entirely different way? How does the role of the floor, corners, and ceiling change when a space no longer has walls? 

In her artistic practice, Fedele Friede (*1997, Holzminden) explores the conditions of spatial constellations, the images and narratives associated with them, and, on a second level, their specific historical development. Whether on the smallest or largest scale, on a wall or on a sheet of paper, she explores the relationship between moments of opening and closing in a space and the traces they leave behind, which she traces in her drawings.
