To want the world in a glass hat.
Bethan Hughes and Dominique Hurth

Bethan Hughes and Dominique Hurth each draw on long-standing, research-driven practices, critically examining social norms, marginalized voices, and the materiality of objects. In this joint exhibition, the artists connect through the title To want the world in a glass hat.—drawn from the poem New Year on Dartmoor, by Sylvia Plath—and reimagine the project space as a resonance chamber. In a literal sense, they engage with the project space and its architecture: the large glass fronts carry a site-specific sound installation. In a metaphorical sense, they address structural questions about normativity, who is heard and in which space, what is visible, and what remains hidden.

The collaborative project To want the world in a glass hat. brings together the two art spaces/initiatives, Display (Marie DuPasquier) and Neun Kelche (Kira Dell and Laura Seidel) with artists Bethan Hughes and Dominique Hurth. The core of the project is the network of solidarity with power-critical and collaborative perspectives that connect us in our curatorial work.
