W.G. Sebald & Tess Jaray, How strange, 2001, silk-screen print, 85 x 60 cm

Versatzstücke is the title of the upcoming exhibition at EXILE marking the end of the 1^st quarter of the 21^st century with works by Tess Jaray, Kathe Burkhart, Elke Denda, Sigmund Jaray, Jobst Meyer, Kazuko Miyamoto, Astrid Proll, W.G. Sebald, and Jiří Valoch.

Versatzstücke are parts of stage decorations that can be moved around as desired. In a figurative sense, they refer to reused or rearranged components of a work – be it a thought, a quotation, or an element of a theory – that are used in a new context. In Austrian German, the term is used also for physical objects that function as a pledge, or a security deposit.

Opening: Nov 7, 6 – 8pm

Köpenicker Str 39
10179 Berlin, Germany
