I knOw yoU is a dynamic exhibition by a new generation of young
European artists. The exhibition takes a fresh look at contemporary art
in Europe as a reflection of the exchange and openness that exists
between artists working today. I knOw yoU examines the idea of
cultural capital; what it means to be European; and ideas at the core of
the financial heart of Europe. This group exhibition has an open
curatorial approach that allows each artist to nominate another artist
of their choosing. Uniquely, this can be from any discipline they
connect with (ie. a poet, philosopher, musician, scientist, chef,
gardener, artist etc.), either on a collaborative or stand-alone basis,
thereby extending the connection point for each artists work.
The artists in I knOw yoU
have been selected from graduates of the Städelschule academy in
Frankfurt am Main, and reflect the ambitious undertaking made by the
school in its development as a leading centre for experimental art
practice. Artists in the exhibition include Simon Denny, Simon Fujiwara,
Jeppe Hein, Jay & Q, Sergej Jensen, Maria Loboda, Michaela Meise,
Tris Vonna-Michell, Nora Schultz, Danh Vo Haegue Yang and Thomas Zipp.
I knOw yoU represents
the exciting diversity of approach in contemporary art practice today
and is curated by artist, Tobias Rehberger; Nikolaus Hirsch, Director of
Städelschule and Rachael Thomas, Senior Curator: Head of Exhibitions,
IMMA.
This innovative artist led publication, which includes texts
by the curators, published by onestar press, Paris, accompanies the
exhibition.
