#3000 Garages – Opening of the exhibition
May 9, 2025 , 17:00 – 21:00
All the threads of the #3000Garages project will come together in an exhibition from 9 May to the end of December 2025, in which photos, drawings, objects and sculptures will be shown alongside found objects, designs and documentation of the diverse activities in Chemnitz’s garage yards.
The exhibition will grow and develop organically, starting with the second edition of Maria Sturm’s photography exhibition ‘Mitgliederversammlung’. Portraits of Chemnitz residents taken by the photographer in the garage landscapes will be shown together in one room.
There will also be announcements and video teasers for other art works, such as FISCHELANT, Vogelperspektiven, Innenlandschaften, and the Chemnitzer Garagenschule and THE CARS WE LIKE projects. The collaboration planned with the artist Rainer Prohaska and the VW engine plant in Chemnitz will also be presented on the opening weekend.
New elements will gradually be integrated into the exhibition, illuminating the socio-cultural phenomenon of the ‘East Garage’ from different perspectives. The processual character of the artistic and curatorial work in the #3000Garages project is emphasised. Recordings, documentation, sketches and texts are shown alongside artistic works and objects found in the garages.
