Inga Krüger

© Victoria Jung

Inga Krüger, (born 1988 in Iserlohn), loves the moment when something has started but nothing has happened yet. In her performances, she analytically and humorously stages language as a fabric of reality.

She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Münster in the class of Suchan Kinoshita and at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Förderpreis of the Westfälischer Kunstverein and the travel grant by the state of Northrhine-Westphalia to the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Most recently her performances have been shown at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Tatort Paderborn and Neuer Aachener Kunstverein. Other selected exhibitions include Wiels Brussels, Emscherkunstweg, Institut de Carton Brussels, Academy of the Arts of the World Cologne, Galerie Fons Welters Amsterdam, One Night Only Gallery Oslo, Kunsthalle Münster, Chert Berlin, true. Antwerp, Pleasant Copenhagen, and Galleri Mejan Stockholm. Krüger (*1988) lives and works in Düsseldorf and Brussels.

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
