> Exhibition: 'Stardust in a Nutshell', Savvy Contemporary, Berlin
Opening: 12/06/2010 at 8pm
Open: 13/06 - 10/07/2010
Location: Richardstraße 43/44, 12055 Berlin, Germany
The exhibition entitled Stardust in a Nutshell presents a selection of art works made in Cameroon in the past years, by both Cameroonian and European artists. As contemporary artists they all address politically relevant topics and share a conceptual approach to their practice. But they are also companions in the quest for beauty. The stardust in the exhibition’s title refers to this last aspect; the English expression „in a nutshell“ figuratively denominates a short summary. Stardust in a Nutshell is the starting point and take-off for a collaborative project of artists in Europe and Cameroon to be finalized in 2011.
Curated by Annette Schemmel. With works by: Stefaan Dheedene, Christian Hanussek / Salifou Lindou, Dunja Herzog, Boris Nzébo, Vincent Meessen, Maarten Vanden Eynde / Alioum Moussa, Patrick Wokmeni
