Meeting Point

23rd of may - 30th of august 2015

(English)

With the exhibition Meeting Point, Kunstverein Konstanz in cooperation with Kunstraum Kreuzlingen commemorates the Council of Constance, a most important event of the Late Middle Ages that lasted from 1414 to 1418.

Just as in the early 15th century council delegates from all over turned to Constance, national and international artists were invited by Kunstverein Konstanz to explore the city and to get to know its varied history. On-site at the location of their choice, they developed their exhibition contributions in various media.

From the moving history of the council, themes such as religion and tolerance, encounter and communication, or hospitality and cultural diversity emerge, along with justice and reliability, particularly in the year of Jan Hus. These issues that make clear how much this medieval church event still protrudes into our present and offers itself as a point of reference for contemporary art.

In the numerous exhibition stations in the urban interior and exterior in Constance and Kreuzlingen, Meeting Point commemorates not just the events of the council: the presence of the political issues treated at the time, unresolved even 600 years later...
