OUR HOUSE. Artistic positions on living

OUR HOUSE: Our house is the Giersch Museum building at Goethe University, a villa with a history. Built in 1910 as a residential building, later home to the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, it has been a museum since 2000. The intimate, private atmosphere of the former living quarters has always fascinated visitors. Now this residential character of the house itself is the focus of the exhibition project OUR HOUSE. Artistic positions on living.

Nothing is as private as it is public as housing. Having your own four walls is a basic human need. In view of rising rents and a shortage of living space, the question of fair, sustainable and good housing is once again being debated with great urgency both politically and socially. How do we live? How precarious are some housing situations and how can housing be conceived in the future? The participating artists raise these questions and at the same time refer to the spatial situation of the museum building.
