style

ROOMER 's SIGHT conducts curatorial experiments with the aim of trying out new approaches to exhibiting, conveying and receiving contemporary art as well as new forms of cooperation with artists, opening up unusual approaches to art for visitors and at the same time institutional presentation and To question ways of mediation. In contrast to conventional exhibitions, ROOMER's SIGHT placed the works of art directly in the context of their contemporary interpretation. The collection of statements about art and its presentation are linked and mutually dependent. As a temporary 'subtenant', the group develops its own project in situ for the respective location: a hybrid of theatrical staging, performance , empirical survey, milieu study , exhibition, scientific documentation, art mediation and reflection.

The curatorial experiments ROOMER's SIGHT stand in the succession of institutional critique . The group transferred methods of performance art and the aesthetics of the performative of the theater scholar Erika Fischer-Lichte , methods of avant-garde theater and street theater , to exhibition making. The activities belong to the beginnings of curatorial exhibition experiments carried out by art historians.
