The exhibition Sentients, curated by Debi Paul,  looks at passage, the sentience of objects and textiles and how these personal possessions draw from the past and travel with us into the future, as remnants from previous lives and artefacts of displacement. The exhibition takes place in a ‘Apotheke’ – an old pharmacy – with a lived-in ambience which lies on a corner open to the meeting of two streets within Scwanthalerhöhe, a vibrant city neighbourhood in Munich. This Apotheke has been a place where people from the neighbourhood have met for over 120 years.

Artists Aleana Egan and Caoimhe Kilfeather have come together to make a new work on memory through the material of clothing, while Tanad Aaron’s art practice considers circularity and family repair. Sara Baume’s model container ships, with sails, appear both toylike and futuristic, but represent her attempt to comprehend the overwhelming quantity of goods in the world. Florian Weichsberger’s subtle artworks code messages and wishes of hope.

Opening times:
Thursday 24th October – 6-9pm (opening reception)
Friday 25th October – Sunday 3rd November: 11am – 7pm (late opening Thursday until 9pm)
