“The title of the exhibition ‘Schlingischlongi – vom Mäandern’ refers to the way I work. Immersed in a new theme, a new period of work, my path meanders like a meandering river. The various works sometimes extend a little more in this direction and sometimes a little more in that direction. The meandering river seeks a path, branches out, forms main and secondary strands. What I show, what the content of the work is, is based on themes that are currently preoccupying me. On the edge of my sofa are books such as ‘Trigger Points’ by Steffen Mau, ‘Rhizome’ by Deleuze and Guattari, ‘Resonance’ by Hartmut Rosa, ‘Staying with the trouble’ by Donna Haraway. I am interested in tension, in holding together, in drifting apart. What do we need to be able to withstand conflict and diversity? How fine must the spun web, the root system, the rhizome be? I can’t find any verbal answers. I question the material.” – Jantje Almstedt
