Compost

2021

“Compost” was a collaborative exhibition with The Showroom London, which explored 25+ years of Kathrin’s practice. In phase 01 Compost: Turning the Heap (June and July 2021), an accumulation of objects and methodologies filled the gallery space, initiating a process of sifting through, using the methods of the practice, namely working 1:1, in public, and toward use. In Phase 02 Compost: For Future Use (September and October 2021) first findings were articulated and organized across the gallery, ready for takeaway and future use. The materiality of “Compost” dissolved by offering the content of the exhibition to be taken away for use elsewhere, be it as art or everyday object.
