ORBIT: SABINE KUEHNLE / NARGES MOHAMMADI
An exhibition curated by The Real Office
Projektraum Kunstverein Wagenhalle Stuttgart
Opening: July 2, 7 pm
July 3 – 17, Wed – Sun, 2 – 7 pm
For the exhibition orbit, Narges Mohammadi and Sabine Kuehnle developed large installations that deal with memory in strongly material-related, albeit highly distinct ways. While Kuehnle’s piece is about collective memories in combination with humankind, nature, and myths, Mohammadi’s work focuses more on narratives that fluctuate between personal memory and social attributions. The title orbit suggests that the image of an orbit can be applied to the network of relationships involving other people, our origins, the past, or history, as well as the nature or objects surrounding us. Which memories are inscribed in the minds of us all?
In 2020 RO published a videozine as the starting point for the multifaceted orbit project, now continuing in the project space at the Kunstverein Wagenhalle.
The show is a project produced by The Real Office. It is supported by the Kulturamt der Stadt Stuttgart, the Wüstenrot Stiftung and the Kunstverein Wagenhalle e.V..
Sabine Kuehnle’s installation was sponsored by the Hessischen Kulturstiftung, and the works by Narges Mohammadi’s on display here was sponsored by Stroom Den Haag and the Stichting Stokroos.

THE REAL OFFICE
KUNST + REALITÄT
is a curatorial team and production office operating between Stuttgart and Vienna. →About
Curating
Als kuratorisches Team gestalteten wir spartenübergreifende Gruppenausstellungen und Performanceprogramme. Die Formate und Konstellationen reichen von selbst initiierten Projekten in Leerständen wie STRIKE GENTLY AWAY, eine Ausstellung mit internationalen Künstler*innen in Salzburg und Stuttgart, über von Institutionen beauftragten Veranstaltungen wie I’M EVERY WOMAN, ein Performanceabend zu feministischem Protest im Landesmuseum Württemberg, oder die Online-Ausstellung HARDWARE ALMOST FEELS REAL für die Gesellschaft für Informatik in Berlin.
As a curatorial team, we have designed several interdisciplinary group exhibitions and performance programs. The formats and constellations range from self-initiated projects in vacant spaces such as STRIKE GENTLY AWAY, an international group show with contemporary art in Salzburg and Stuttgart, to events commissioned by institutions such as the performance evening on feminist protest I'M EVERY WOMAN at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart or the online exhibition HARDWARE ALMOST FEELS REAL for the German Informatics Society in Berlin.
Production
Als Produzent*innen begleiten wir Künstler*innen, freie Gruppen und Institutionen von ihrer ersten Idee bis zur Umsetzung. Wir unterstützen bei der Konzeption, Mittelakquise, dem Aufbau von Kooperationen, Öffentlichkeitsarbeit bis hin zur konkreten Organisation. Wir sind in vielen Genres wie Performance, Musiktheater, Tanz, Theorie und Literatur tätig und können auf ein großes Netzwerk in diesen Bereichen sowie auf Pressevertreter*innen, Fotograf*innen und Unterstützung bei Technik und Design zurückgreifen.
As producers, we accompany artists, independent groups and institutions from their initial idea to its realization. We provide support with writing concepts, fundraising, developing collaborations, with public relations as well as organizing the project. We work in fields such as performance, music theatre, dance, theory, and literature and have access to a large network in these areas as well as journalists, photographers, technicians, and graphic designers.
Publications
THE REAL OFFICE verfasst Texte, ist redaktionell tätig und entwickelt Buch- bzw. Katalogprojekte zum Beispiel mit den Künstlerinnen Justyna Koeke oder Gabriela Oberkofler. Neben Printprodukten erarbeiten wir auch die Konzeption und Umsetzung von digitalen Magazin-Formaten oder Homepages sowie begleitende Texte zur Vermittlung von Ausstellungen.
THE REAL OFFICE writes texts, edits, and develops publications and catalogs, for example with the artists Justyna Koeke and Gabriela Oberkofler. In addition to print products, we conceive and create digital magazines or homepages as well as accompanying texts for exhibitions.
