The empty art gallery becomes the starting point for an exhibition in which the space and its walls themselves become central actors. Every four weeks, five artists in succession create site-specific murals on the white walls of the art gallery. Each work is temporary and is painted over in white after a month, while the next intervention begins.

The exhibition is an ongoing process that focuses on change, transience and the tension between visibility and disappearance. Visitors are invited to accompany this process from the empty white wall to the painted art gallery and experience different artistic approaches to mural painting. Each visit reveals a different state and opens up new perspectives on the space.

As one of the oldest forms of artistic work, mural painting is closely linked to architecture and the public sphere, while also being drawing, painting, performance and spatial installation. The wall is not only a image carrier, but also a boundary, resistance, projection surface and witness. Over a period of five months, a sequence of temporary inscriptions will emerge in the Kunsthalle, repeatedly redefining and transforming the space. In this way, the exhibition deliberately defies the logic of permanence and complete availability; it opens up space for processes, encounters and the experience of change.
