Exhibition: Dragoner01, Adlerhalle, Berlin, 2023
Work: Kin (12099), 2023, porcelain clay, acrylic paint, dimensions variable
Both a survey and a speculative exercise, Juliane Tübke’s ‘Kin (12099)’ (2023) is above all an itinerary of care. A series of spray-painted, unburnt clay sculptures modeled from discarded items found in the streets of the industrial area of Tempelhof Ost, among which tires, jeans, fruits, basketballs, or tiles, ‘Kin’ stages an analysis of a once prolific industrial district through its waste. At the same time, it raises a series of questions about the role of trash in transforming a landscape, ultimately placing it as an active element in a dysfunctional ecosystem.
