Currently on view at Between Bridges:
Juan Pablo Echeverri: Identidad Perdida
27 April–29 July 2023

The exhibition commemorates the life and work of Bogotá-born artist Juan Pablo Echeverri (1978–2022) whose prolific oeuvre can be read as an exercise of continual re-invention by means of the self-portrait and as a practice of defying a flattened, static, and essentialist reading of identity in order to joyfully celebrate a simultaneity of embodiments.

Identidad Perdida is organized by some of the people who miss him: Marcela Echeverri, Federico Martelli, Santiago Monge, Viktor Neumann, Sofía Reyes, and Wolfgang Tillmans. The second part of the exhibition will take place at James Fuentes, New York, between 7 June–29 July 2023. A monographic publication, published by James Fuentes Press, details the wide-ranging works in both exhibitions and features a foreword by Wolfgang Tillmans, an essay by Inti Guerrero and an interview with the artist.

Live stream on https://www.hkw.de/: Conversation between Wolfgang Tillmans (Between Bridges) and Jonathan Horowitz, who recently curated the exhibition ‘We Fight to Build a Free World: An Exhibition by Jonathan Horowitz’ at The Jewish Museum, NY

Today’s Europe developed as a project in resistance to its past fascisms. In a workshop and conference program, young people together with artists, scientists, cultural and educational experts will explore artistic possibilities of fighting fascist ideas as an instrument of realizing (European) community.
How can artistic and curatorial practices counter racist thought? Can soil hold a counter-memory? Could an ant-racist and anti-sexist gaming culture benefit a diverse European community? How can human rights education look like? Four thematic workshops for youth and young adults – Arts of Resistance, Communities of Resistance, Digital Resistance, Education of Resistance – revolve around these questions. Workshop participants can also attend a presentation by students from St. Pölten, Zagreb, Berlin and Bolzano: They will speak about how they created art works based on resistance songs, poems, graffiti from 1939 to 1945 – and what can be learned from historic resistance fighters for the here and now. In a concluding public lecture, Jonathan Horowitz will share insights on his artistic and curatorial work. Followed by a conversation with the artist and photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, he will investigate the potential art offers to fight racism and anti-Semitism.
