With its point of departure in the world-wide image industries of the 19th century, this exhibition focuses on a mythical structure in contemporary thinking about mediatised images: According to this myth, artists’ pictures must „talk“ by themselves, or they will be considered secondary, derivative, or even irrelevant.

In the selection of artworks organized by Berlin-based curator Clemens Krümmel, researcher at the Melton Prior Institute for Reportage Drawing and Printing Culture in Düsseldorf, this projection of the „talking picture“ that yet remains insufficient in itself is transposed into an arrangement of „semi-autonomous“ pictures.

Artworks combined of moving and static images always in relation to an additional layer that can be considered the „talking“ one. The main reference extends to different types of picture recitation – as the historical basis for today’s cultures of the commented image.

Speaking out next to pictures has a great history – and this did not only include street balladeers or market criers. For a long time, practices of the text-image, of text-based documentary art forms, of description and recitation, have not only developed in the direct context of artworks, but also as hybrid artistic modes of production in their own respective rights.

Using the walls and angular spaces of Songwon Art Center in a self-reflexive manner, this cabinet-type exhibition develops a contemporary reading of notions like “layout”, “framework“, and “animation“ – mostly by arranging images from diverse contexts and by transforming different degrees of these images’ performativity into layers, frames, and motions.
