Compost: 1-1

A constant for Kathrin Böhm is her 1:1 scale of operation, where the work is produced on the scale of the topic it addresses. Compost at The Showroom is therefore an exhibition that operates on the scale of the gallery and within the publicness of the institution.

Book a 1:1 zoom with Kathrin for a dedicated conversation during the process of Turning the Heap. These limited 1:1, half hour slots enable a meeting and focused time for discussion online.

Please note that the sessions are taking place during opening hours at The Showroom and there may therefore be others physically in the space, so whilst being 1:1 on zoom, these are public conversations.

Compost is a unique collaborative exhibition that explores twenty years of artist Kathrin Böhm's practice. For six weeks throughout June and July 2021, a cumulation of objects and methodologies fills the gallery space at The Showroom, opening up an invitation to contribute to a process of fertiliser-making: to sieve through, to assess, to archive, and to reformulate Böhm’s practice by making use of her methods of production, working one-to-one, collaboratively, and in public.

Kathrin is working on-site at The Showroom daily throughout Compost; and in a synthesis of spatial, visual, social and economic processes, the collective act of composting will be organised around principles of usership, accessibility, and enacting modes of economic and cooperative sustainability; all guided by an urgent sense of discontinuing ‘business as usual’. For Böhm, Compost in the form it takes at The Showroom has been in-the-making for many years, stemming from a deep desire to not just produce, but to process and to carefully consider what to do next: what to continue, what to leave behind, and the need for fundamental shifts grounded by an acknowledgment of our entangled interdependence.

There will be a maximum capacity of ten visitors in the exhibition space at The Showroom at any one time.
Wednesday-Saturday, 12-5pm
