Autopilot

23. July – 18. September 2005

Gerry Weber Halle, Düsseldorf

For the group exhibition Autopilot, 701 invited the artists Lars Breuer, Sebastian Freytag, Jan Kämmerling and Guido Münch to initiate a project in the Gerry Weber Halle in Düsseldorf with artists from Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and New York.

In addition to the operators of the KONSORTIUM, the following artists* were involved in the exhibition: Jessica Centner, Angela Fette, Sven-Ole Frahm, Terry Hagerty, Sascha Hahn, Julio Herrera, Peter K. Koch, Dirk Krecker and Jan Scharrelmann.

The same applied to the “AUTOPILOT” exhibition as to the KONSORTIUM exhibition space: the exhibiting artists installed their works themselves. The spacious hall of Gerry Weber opened up new spatial dimensions for the artists. Large-format wall works occupied a central position in the exhibition. The direct juxtaposition of the works simultaneously created a multifaceted network of relationships.

The project was made possible by the generous support of Gerry Weber International AG.
