For this third edition of the Wild Summer of Art, the Brutus building itself serves as the starting point of the exhibition. The traces of the past, visible in the ruins and remnants of the monumental site, tell multiple stories. They remind us of what once was, but also invite new interpretations. As the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish once said: 'Memory is the scar of history.' It is precisely this scar that the exhibiting artists make visible. Not only as something painful, but also as a source of insight, creativity, and hope. Curated by Yannik Güldner and Jeanette Bisschops.
