thinking through your cracks and veins

Sometimes a person leaves a trace without it being possible to say exactly where, or in what form, it might become perceptible: a gesture we repeat, as though guided by an invisible hand. A sentence whose intonation has imperceptibly found its way into our own speech. Or a space in which a time long past can still be felt. Such traces are not memories in the conventional sense. They lie deeper, shaping our own existence, and often reveal themselves only over time—when we return to a place, look more closely, or listen inwardly. The group show "thinking through your cracks and veins" understands bodies, objects, and architectures as sites where something can settle, seep in, and be transmitted. Through video, drawing, sculpture, and installation, the artistic works open up spaces, expose layers, and briefly bring back to the surface interpersonal connections once thought to be lost. Architecture thus becomes a carrier of memory and meaning. The historic hall of the Kunstverein also enters into this movement: the outlines of hidden rooms shift into the exhibition space, inviting us to look beneath the floor and behind the walls, and directing our gaze towards what lies beyond — towards that which endures.
