The artist duo Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca have opened a new exhibition titled "The Tunnels We Dig" at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt. The show combines three of their collaborative film and installation works, which are the result of their decade-long practice of working in dialogue with other artists and collectives.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the duo's focus on cultural movements and collective practices that exist outside mainstream contemporary art institutions. By bringing these peripheral, community-based expressions into a major European kunsthalle, the show challenges established art world hierarchies and offers a platform for underrepresented forms of cultural production.
