Inherited, bought, created or even passionately collected, an average household allegedly owns 10,000 objects during its lifetime. An amazing number, but one that makes clear: we collect things, we select them – and let them go, sooner or later. A classic collection of bizarre objects, an inherited artist's estate, floods of images in social media, the constant growth of one's own artistic work, but also so-called dust collectors and global garbage collections are the approaches to the content of the respective artistic works in the exhibition on the upper floor of Schloss Biesdorf. To preserve, transform, give away or dispose of things requires individual decisions. What makes things valuable or worthless for people? The artists of the exhibition explore these questions in installations, objects, photographs and drawings. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition.
