Living Archive

What does the Kunsthalle archive fail to capture from Ibrahim Mahama's intervention?
What images, associations or memories does the exhibition evoke?
And what is stored in our memory?

What ends up in the archive is often regarded as historical truth. Who decides what is preserved and what is not? And what gaps are left unfilled in the process? As part of their art education studies at the HKB, Erin Maier and Noemi Widmer invited visitors to the Kunsthalle Bern to capture the sensual atmosphere of Ibrahim Mahama's current wrapping together. The discussion and workshop format took place several times with various groups resulting in lively discussions and shared contemplation.
