Thinking Through Weibel gathers key works out of the Peter Weibel Archive and positions them in relation to contemporary practices by invited international artists that unfold through distinct conceptual and material approaches. Attention turns particularly to the earlier years of artist, curator, and art and media theorist Peter Weibel (1944–2023) when sculptural inquiries merged with performance, film, and written language.
The contemporary contributions do not follow or extend Peter Weibel’s logic practice, but move across and against it, forming intersections without fixing relationships.
Artists: Morehshin Allahyari, Nancy Baker Cahill, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Jakob Lena Knebl, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Thania Petersen, Eva Schlegel, and Peter Weibel.
