SAME DIFFERENCE, Group Exhibition

Street art meets post-graffiti, interior meets exterior, painting meets sculpture, and facade meets the white cube. How do aesthetic strategies change as contexts shift?

At the invitation of the ZONENKINDER Collective, artists who also work in urban public spaces are presenting works created specifically for indoor settings. Some of them have a background in street art, others have studied fine arts or art-related disciplines, and many have a biographical connection to both contexts.

In their works, they draw on urban architecture, materials, and colors to develop their own approaches to outdoor space within the gallery space. In collaboration with curator and art educator Lara Bader, an exhibition is taking shape that invites visitors to explore questions of representation, accessibility, and the role of art both in urban space and within institutional settings—and to open up a lively dialogue.

The exhibition takes its starting point in the mural project the WALL, which was launched in the spring of 2024 by the ZONENKINDER Collective as a transdisciplinary experimental space on a facade in Hamburg’s Gängeviertel. The project aims to highlight the multifaceted nature of contemporary mural art in public spaces and to foster encounters between art, artists, the public, and passersby through live painting events.
