Midday discussion in cooperation with West Den Haag.

Home & Away travels to Dusseldorf to explore the production of space – of conceptual space, of spaces of the imagination, of real space – under contemporary capitalism. Threaded through the afternoon is the work of Dr. Timotheus Vermeulen, who will approach the subject of our everyday (sub)urban spaces through Peter Sloterdijk’s allegory of the bubble, arguing that our environment is one of affective ‘co-isolation’, of lived realities that are both intertwined and separate. Moving between discussions of public spaces and private space, shopping malls, kiosks and art galleries, Vermeulen considers the merits and limitations of this allegory, and proposes a new role for art in suggesting alternative metaphors. Home & Away has invited curator Ludwig Seyfarth and artist Matthias Bitzer to reflect on the nature of contemporary space from their distinct perspectives.
