Exhibition: Boxwerk Munich 22.07.2021 – 27.07.2021
curated by Tatjana Vall and Justin Urbach

The group exhibition „Sugar Pie Honey Punch“ by students of the of the Academy of Fine Arts Munich presented a total of 16 artistic positions in the new, still under reconstruction, training hall of the boxingstudio „Boxwerk“ and was curated by Justin Urbach and Tatjana Vall. Within this collaboration, a broad spectrum of new, partly site-specific works emerged that deal conceptually with space and its use and thematically address structures of power, impact and negotiation of the body, alleged violence and social cohesion through sport. Deconstructing and reinterpreting the training equipment and sports paraphernalia of the Boxwerk the work „HE WEARS AN OVERALL TO KEEP HIS CLOTHES CLEAN“ is about two boxing referees and their movements, rituals and gestures.

The absence of the athletes separates and channels the actions, making the hidden visible and creates an installative, multimedia interplay of sculpture, video and performance.
