Curator Sandro Droschl will give a tour through the current exhibition “Motivation and Personality” by British artist Stuart Middleton. In this tour, interested visitors will receive first hand information on the genesis of the exhibition and the creative process of the up-and-coming talent from Glasgow. With this glimpse behind the scenes of the Künstlerhaus, you will also hear interesting insights on the curatorial practice and the self-conception of the institution.

The exhibition “Motivation and Personality” of British artist Stuart Middleton (*1987 Crewe, UK, lives in Glasgow) shows an original space-encompassing installation which considers the formative power of social environments and the consumptive potential of relationships. Mashing together ideas from animal behavioral science, meat production-line technology and human psychology, Middleton creates an experimental, sculptural machinery for Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien. Middleton’s walk-in-installation touches the audience not only on the intellectual, but also on the physical level and, following the biology of the ruminant, should even “digest” them.
