Lydia Thomas and Florian Merkel for the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025
>>> instagram.com/changer.2025
CHANGER is an interactive project by Lydia Thomas and Florian Merkel in Chemnitz city center: in 2024, weekly changing exhibitions were presented in two mysterious changing rooms from outdoor swimming pools. From May to August 2025, the cabins will be located between the Red Tower and Johannisplatz.
Everyone is invited to take part in CHANGER, regardless of origin, age, gender, profession or world view, who is prepared to accept the rules of the exhibition project. The CHANGER thrives on the constant change of objects presented in the booths. You have the opportunity to exchange a work exhibited in the CHANGER for another artistic work of any kind that you may have created, but which does not necessarily have to be yours. However, you should have the rights to it. By doing so, you agree that your work will be available for the next exchange. The aim is to have a weekly rotation. The works shown in the CHANGER should be appropriate to the space in the booth, meet certain artistic standards in their appearance and be in line with the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Each exhibited work is documented on the web.
If you are interested, please write us an email or call us at 0152 34619873. We will then make an appointment for viewing and handover, whereby we reserve the right to make a selection.
