When Guests Become Host

Three collectives have been invited to use Culturgest gallery as a base, to propose and realize projects in the city of Porto: the architect collective Supersudaca (Latin America), the art collectives Freee (United Kingdom) and WochenKlausur (Austria). „When guests become host“ is an ongoing research project looking into artistic strategies for „finding hospitality“ in the public domain and is curated by Danielle van Zuijlen. The report describes the curatorial approach and goes into the details of the WochenKlausur project.

When Guests Become Host
Dominik Lang has been involved in exhibition design for a long time. However, unlike other artists, his approach differs in the degree to which he emphasizes the creative aspects of the profession. The result often oscillates between exhibition design and autonomous installation while he himself admits that he deliberately violates this boundary. For this reason, he prefers the term "author of the exhibition's artistic design" or "author of the spatial design".
