07.12.2024 – 16.02.2025

From December 7, 2024, to February 16, 2025, the Kunsthalle Trier will transform the abandoned spaces of the Treviris Passage with the exhibition What to Do with Tenderness? This exhibition reimagines the passage as a space of care, where pressing social issues, alongside themes of caregiving, repair, and healing, take center stage. Here, care is presented not only as an interpersonal phenomenon but also through its political and structural dimensions. The exhibition engages in dialogue with the local community and the history of the location, inviting visitors to explore new forms of solidarity and mindfulness.

A variety of artistic media will be on display, including paintings, photography, objects, sculptures, and spatial installations by the following artists:

Banu Alpsü

Matthieu Croizier and David Weishaar

Sarah Decristoforo

Ángela Jiménez Durán

Vika Kirchenbauer

Simon Knab

Darja Linder

Marie-Luise Meister

Sophie Utikal

The exhibition is curated by Çağla Erdemir.

We thank the City of Trier (Stadt Trier), SWT Stadtwerke Trier, Volksbank Trier Eifel eG, and the Förderkreis Europäische Kunstakademie e.V.
