Voyage Voyage is an exhibition about traveling – bringing together works by international artists who are or were based in Germany and have spent long periods of time abroad. What effect do these encounters with a different surrounding and or nature, a different language, culture, and history have on an artist’s work? There are varying approaches to transform these experiences into art, be they personal, romantic, research based, political, situationist, formalistic, etc. The exhibition itself turns into a voyage, carrying visitors through the labyrinthine spaces of The Wand and transporting them to India (Michel Aniol), Brazil (Bianca Benenti), China (Antje Majewski, Philip Shafer), Japan (Yusuf Etiman), Papua New Guinea (Hendrik Zimmer), Madagascar (Mathilde Rosier), Senegal (Simone Gilges), Burkina Faso (Dirk Peuker), Cameroon (Olivier Guesselé-Garai), Morocco (Katharina Wulff), Iraq (Sophie-Therese Trenka-Dalton), Iceland (Maria Dabow), and Colombia (Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez, Jaro Straub).
