High-gloss culture and masculine fragilityThe exhibition space of the Kassel Kunstverein is cut by an approximately 3-metre-high exhibition wall that reveals a huge vehicle. As an imposing sculpture, it divides the adjacent wall and wedges itself into the neighbouring room. It stands in the way of visitors like a wrongly parked car. In its wall are recesses in which illuminated exhibits can be seen. His lacquered vases, for example, are screwed into the recessed niches lying down in a kind of muffler aesthetic. Wagner had the eye-catching rivets on the exhibition wall, which are normally found on Japanese car rims, come especially for the exhibition.
