Alles muss raus!Kunstraum Open Tiny, Berlin, Germany

Alles muss raus, above all, considers the contemporary state of internationalism by exploring the influences and the deceptiveness of signs we encounter in the spaces of everyday life. Applying the Brechtian technique of Umfunktionierung through appropriating and re-contextualizing a selection of such signs, the exhibition underscores their hegemony while challenging their jurisdiction. We call upon the viewers’ sense of familiarity with the imagery we use, and the spaces we invoke, to deliver our message. Throughout this exhibition, we are reversing the established orders of authority. The exhibition is formatted as a spatial and aesthetic transformation of the Kiezkiosk Open Tiny into a signmaker’s store, in which different displayed signs tell a story of a world whose everyday is shaped by socio-political correlations divergent from those we are familiar with.
The authority behind the curtain, controlling the perception, is but the sum of the stereotypes and the bigotry we feared.
