The exhibition is curated by Nathalie Schulz (freelance curator, Düsseldorf), with the support of Lene ter Haar (Cultural Officer, Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Düsseldorf).
In the exhibition BETWEEN BELONGING, this year's Borderland Residencies scholarship holders present works and performances that were created during their stay in the Rhine-Meuse region in 2024-25. The Borderland Residencies programme is organized by Kulturraum Niederrhein e.V., Odapark in Venray and the participating residencies.
A temporary stay in a new region or at a border often raises questions about one's own identity. How do I fit in? Where do I belong? This often results in a feeling of being “in-between”. A phenomenon that the fellows of the Borderland Residencies 2024-25 got to the bottom of during their field trips in the border region between Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Moments of collective artistic research gave rise to work impulses, the results of which they will present in the exhibition BETWEEN BELONGING at the Weltkunstzimmer Düsseldorf from April 11 to 26. The exhibition tells of an indeterminacy that offers the opportunity to reinterpret one's own belonging and the concept of belonging itself. It also raises the idea that we are all ultimately part of various complex and constantly evolving systems.
Further artworks by Borderland Residencies scholarship holders will also be on display at ART DÜSSELDORF from April 10 to 13 in changing constellations.
