I, etcetera unfolds a quiet, clever art event about identity and memory

A multifaceted exhibition event about the self in the mirror of art

At the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, I, etcetera unfolds a group exhibition that conceptualizes artistic subjectivity not as a fixed entity, but as a fluid structure. Between September 19, 2026, and January 17, 2027, the project brings together works by Julie Becker, Chan Hau Chun, Oto Gillen, Robert Glück, and Danae Io, as well as contributions from Alex Kitnick, Doreen Mende, and Fiona Vilmer. The central question is how identity, memory, and narrative shape each other in contemporary art.

When the self becomes an open form

The exhibition does not rely on smooth self-assertion, but on the fragment, the shift, and the process. Interiors, facades, and landscapes appear as psychic spaces, as material for projection, and as stages for a self that can only be comprehended in relation to others. Exactly therein lies the tension of this stage experience of the visual arts: The dramaturgy of the exhibition does not arrange certainties but opens spaces for thought and perception.

An art association as a resonance space

The institutional perspective of the exhibition is particularly intriguing. The Kunstverein itself is not merely visible as a place of presentation but as part of the theme: buildings, archives, exhibitions, public, and membership form a web of voices and memories. This creates a theater atmosphere of a quiet kind, where each position on the curatorial stage relates to the next one. The presentation remains intellectually precise and at the same time sensually accessible.

Dramaturgy between memory and projection

The exhibited works revolve around self-design, projection, and narrative. Robert Glück's statement about the self as a collectively mixed assortment sets the tone for an exhibition that consciously questions coherence. The result is not a linear narrative, but a multifaceted choreography of perspectives. It is precisely this openness that makes the exhibition appealing: it demands attention, rewards with profound thought, and invites slow, attentive contemplation.

For visitors with a sense for contemporary art

I, etcetera is aimed at everyone who wants to experience the exhibition as a mental and aesthetic event. The blend of theoretical sharpness, poetic imagery, and institutional self-reflection makes the tour a multifaceted cultural appointment in Düsseldorf. Those seeking contemporary art with substance will find here a precisely curated, atmospherically dense format.

Conclusion

I, etcetera promises an exhibition that does not shout loudly but resonates more sustainably: a multi-layered stage experience of art that reconfigures perception, language, and identity. Those who wish to experience contemporary art in its intellectual and emotional depth should visit this exhibition live.
