IM AUGENBLICK – BeFALLEN (KLAGG artspace, Dresden)

• Artistic positions: Anna Kubelík with Oliver Schmid and Tarik Goetzke
• Venue: KLAGG artspace, Dresden
• Duration: 11 July – 6 August 2025 (extended until 18 September 2025)
• Opening: 10 July 2025, 6 pm

Responsible for KLAGG artspace:
Chair of Design Theory, Technische Universität Dresden
(Prof. Dr. Henning Haupt).

The installation brings together Anna Kubelík’s spatial concept Im Augenblick (2024) and prints from her series Art from Infestation. Im Augenblick was first realised at the Apollo Kulturhaus in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, where it engaged with the architecture and history of the former cinema.

At KLAGG artspace, the concept is transferred into a new spatial and institutional context and expanded through an acoustic layer. The audio installation ME+BeFallen is accessible via QR codes and extends the work through a multi-voiced, site-specific listening situation.

KLAGG artspace is an exhibition space in Dresden operated by the Chair of Design Theory at Technische Universität Dresden. It is located in a former railway signalman’s hut in the Großer Garten park (Lennéstraße 5, 01069 Dresden).

The interior consists of a single, compact room with large windows. The works are installed inside, while visitors view them from outside. Admission is generally free.

Further information about the exhibition and the project can be found on the KLAGG artspace website.

For the presentation at KLAGG artspace, Anna Kubelík staged the interior with prints from her series Art from Infestation. Parts of the window surfaces were covered with coloured films, referencing an earlier installation at the Apollo Kulturhaus.

The audio installation ME+BeFallen was accessible via five QR codes placed on the exterior windows. These led to the five German-language audio tracks.

The QR codes were printed in black on holographic adhesive film, visually linking the iridescent materiality of the window films with the functional structure of the audio access.

The tracks accessed via the QR codes correspond to the five German-language parts of ME+BeFallen, as also presented in Symbiotic Wood at the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin. At KLAGG artspace, they were activated as a decentralised listening situation in the outdoor space: distributed across the window surfaces and closely tied to the shop-window architecture of the former signalman’s hut and the material aesthetics of the films.

On the landing pages, the texts were additionally available as readable versions (DE/EN) and via a streaming option.
