For Ruhr Ding: Schlaf, the Welsh artist Angharad Williams as part of the collective The Wig adevelops a work for the Makroscope rooms. Angharad Williams is an artist and writer who, in her poetic and quasi political works, investigates the individual in a capitalist world. Her works of art combine elements that are sculptural, installative, text-based, and performative, taking a distinctive and unsentimental look at the present: “Questions are a burden to others, answers are a prison to oneself,” as is asserted in one of her pieces.

Mostrecently they developed exhibitions at the Bonner Kunstverein and in the exhibition space of MOSTYN in Wales (both in 2022). In 2020, Angharad Williamsspent three months in Essen as a resident of the program Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr.
