SOME DEGREE OF FRICTION (2025)

Group Show 19.07 - 31.08.2025
Wehrmuehle Museum, Berlin, Germany

Curated by Tjioe Meyer Hecken

Running from July 19th to August 31st, the exhibition inspired by A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze & Guattari (1987) and The Forest Maker by Volker Schlöndorff (2022). This project operates through a rhizomatic structure — decentralized, non-linear, and open to multiplicity. Rather than following a classic dramaturgy or fixed curatorial logic, each happening becomes a plateau: a zone of sustained intensity where sound, performance, image, and body interweave. The exhibition evolves through processes of resonance between artists, viewers, materials, and spatial conditions.

The emphasis lies on becoming-with — creating an interdependent structure of care, friction, flow, and mutual recognition. Performance becomes a listening act. Sound becomes a holding space. The audience becomes part of the assemblage.

Featuring more than 25 artists—including Alicja Kwade, Amanda Donato, Anna Uddenberg, Anne Imhof, Beatriz Morales, Billie Clarken, Christine Liebich, Daniel Hölzl & Abie Franklin, Elena Francalanci, Evangelia Dalton, Hani Hape, Jade Cassidy, Jenna Sutela, Ju Young Kim, Lena Marie Emrich, Lorenz Rost, Lukas Heerich, Madelen Isa Lindgren, Mirko Mielke, Natalie Brehmer, Nicolás Lamas, Ornella Fieres, Paulo Wirz, Precious Okoyomon, Rosa Barba, Rosa Merk, Sally von Rosen, Seongwon Park, Sofiia Stepanova, Tim Schmid, Yngve Holen and many more.
