3/1 – 9/1: Solo Museum Exhibition at Jewish Museum Munich

Wikswo Solo Museum Exhibition / March 2013 (48 photos)

QUINTAN ANA WIKSWO’s “Sonderbauten”
ALLES HAT SEINE ZEIT: RITUALE GEGEN DAS VERGESSEN/
A TIME FOR EVERYTHING: RITUALS AGAINST FORGETTING

February 27-October 1st, 2013
Judisches Museums Munchen/Jewish Museum Munich

Quintan Ana Wikswo’s project “Sonderbauten” is a transdisciplinary exploration of the institutional erasure and silencing of state-based rape, sexual violence, and gender-based crimes against humanity. In documenting the obscured rape brothel at Dachau, Wikswo questions how even within the most documented genocide in human history, sexualized violence against women remains taboo.

The exhibition includes 16 large photographs created by Wikswo using Nazi military film cameras manufactured by slave labor; Wikswo’s original prose poem sequence in German and English; a projection installation of Wikswo’s 12 minute film; a museum catalogue; a performance collaboration with choreographer Alexx Shilling (dancers Shayna Keller and Sarah Jacobs, and composer Isaac Shankler, Violin by Andrew Tholl, Voice by Anna Lisa Bloth, Translation into German by Dorothea Herreiner).

Thank you to Creative Capital, Yaddo, Tin House, Center for Cultural Innovation, Montalvo Arts, Millay Colony, Djerassi, and many more publishers, museums, residencies, foundations, performance spaces, and individuals who supported this project from 2010-2013, and onwards.
