I, etcetera at Kunstverein Düsseldorf: An exhibition about the breaking and reordering self

With I, etcetera, the Kunstverein for the Rhineland and Westphalia in Düsseldorf opens a space for contemporary art that understands the self not as a fixed entity, but as a movable construction. The group exhibition runs from September 19, 2026, to January 17, 2027; the opening invitation is on September 18, 2026, from 6 to 10 PM. At the center is the question of how subjectivity, memory, and institutional identity are negotiated in images, texts, and spaces.

A curated play with identity and narrative

The exhibition brings together new productions and existing works by Julie Becker, Chan Hau Chun, Oto Gillen, Robert Glück, Danae Io, as well as contributions from Alex Kitnick, Doreen Mende, and Fiona Vilmer. The project thinks of artistic subjectivity as a process, as a relation, as an ongoing negotiation. Interior spaces, facades, and landscapes appear not only as motifs but as psychological states and as stages of a self that continually reassembles.

The Kunstverein as a resonance space

Particularly exciting is the institutional perspective on the house itself. I, etcetera directs the dramaturgy not only at the works but also at the Kunstverein as a place: at archive, members, visitors, and all those voices that have shaped its history. This perspective gives the exhibition a special theoretical depth and makes the tour a clever, concentrated stage experience of contemporary art.

Between sensual presence and intellectual tension

Those who engage with this exhibition experience not a loud gesture but a dense theatrical atmosphere of quiet shifts. It is precisely the combination of image, text, and curatorial reflection that creates that tension that characterizes good art: it remains open, challenges sight and thought simultaneously, and unfolds its effect in the audience's reaction on site. Additionally, tours, conversations, and lectures deepen the program throughout the exhibition. ([kunstverein-duesseldorf.de](https://kunstverein-duesseldorf.de/ausstellungen/i-etcetera/))
