Heimspiel 2024 – Uncanny Unchained: The Power of Weird

Creepy silhouettes, sticky textures and displaced relationships populate the Kunst Halle in an assembly of hybrid creatures and grotesques. The exhibition celebrates the strange, the uncanny, the extravagant and the miraculous with a cabinet of curiosities and an overcrowding of its own rooms.

We are fascinated by things that cavort on the fringes of normality. Aliens, monsters, paranormal encounters, insects, myths and folklore cast a spell over our collective subconscious. But who defines what is "normal"? Where do our shared ideas of the outlandish come from? In the Kunst Halle, works by 22 local and regional artists play with impressions of the mystical and bizarre and invite you to take a walk in the Uncanny Valley.
