International Group Exhibition with 18 Artists in Heidelberg

Open from October 25th til November 30th
Venue: Langer Anger 34, Heidelberg

The Gap Project invites you to the international group exhibition Play and Pleasure, which places joy, humor, and play at the heart of artistic practice as a creative force.

The exhibition explores how lightness and pleasure can dismantle entrenched hierarchies, opening up space for new perspectives and possibilities.

“Art does not have to be exclusively serious, heavy, and authoritarian,” the collective emphasizes. “Through playfulness, the structures of power can be shifted.”

Featured artists:

Carolina Amaya, Ivana de Vivanco, Anja Fußbach, Florian Huber, Marion Mandeng, Mina Mania, Sebastian Neeb, Joséphine Sagna, Lerato Shadi, Linda Steiner, Wear&Tear, Sophie Bauhaus, Katharina Andes, Cédric Pintarelli, Lisa Dorfschmid, Boglárka Balassa, Barbara Guthy & Soana Schüler, Angelika Dirscherl

The selection is of museum quality, presenting works across painting, sculpture, works on paper, and media art. All works are available for acquisition.

An accompanying program invites dialogue and exchange throughout the exhibition. Talks, screenings, and workshops create opportunities to engage with the artists and their practices, reflecting The Gap Project’s mission to connect artistic experimentation with joy, community, and critical reflection.
