Haha Wang

©Daniel Sadrowski 

Haha Wang (b. 1993, China) works mainly in sculpture and installation and has recently started working with video productions. In her works, the intimate feelings of both humans and animals are conveyed and transformed by unexpected objects or events. She specializes in creating and mingling spaces to expose the process of how the styles and forms of life are shaped by daily and technical objects.

She graduated from the Sculpture Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2018, currently she is studying in Akademie der Bildenden Künste München and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf stage design class. Her latest projects were Haha’s 10,000 Days on the Earth (2021), Academy Gallery, Munich; Super BOOKS (2021), Haus der Kunst, Munich; Pulse (2021), Cai Jin Space, Beijing; Somatic Attunement (2021), Studio Gallery, Shanghai; The Knickknack Peddler (2021), public art section of Guangzhou Contemporary Art Fair, Guangzhou and Undermining & Oversharing (2021), Galerie der Stadt Schwaz, Schwaz.

From January to December 2022, Haha Wang is a resident artist in the programme Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

Hamminkeln

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
