“MOMO” has two souls. One sends long roots to the depths of the earth – a soul that embodies archetypes and myths of hardened, raw masculinity, and the other is in a constant search for an individual and distinct DNA; one moves within its own autonomous and independent force field and the other is a constellation of elements that spin around the same nucleus – alternately drifting away and towards it, making room for necessary tenderness and catharsis.

For more than three decades, Rirkrit Tiravanija has been expanding the possibilities of what can happen in an exhibition space. As part of his practice, the artist creates situations that offer space to eat and drink, play and rest. They encourage chance encounters, relationships and their failure – in other words: life. The exhibition DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG (Happiness is not always fun) presents more than 80 of the artist’s works created between 1987 and 2024.

Heimat as diversity and process. The multi-year project understands the very German term Heimat (home) in the plural and as a verb: heimaten means to acknowledge and actively shape the realities of a plural society. In a series of discussions, publications, and the formation of a network, actors from civil society collaboratively work on the long overdue reinterpretation of the term. We are heimating.
