6 -15 September 2024, I would die for anything hosted a group exhibition of works by artist from around the world, curated by the four members of the collective.
+ one at the border is the first group exhibition curated and hosted by artist collective I would die for anything. Showcasing the work of 16 artists from around the world, the show embodies the spirit of interpersonal creative connection that has proved to be a catalyst for the founding of the Berlin art space and studio.
Presenting an architecturally choreographed blend of mediums — from sculpture, painting and drawing to video, photography, performance and text — + one at the border’s international landscape of artists offers a glimpse into the experiences and decisions that brought I would die for anything members Alexander Vinther-Burroughs, Gabriela Galeano Batres, Milly Burroughs and Oscar Juul-Sørensen to art, to Berlin and eventually to each other. Curator-artist relationships represented in the exhibition span from as many as 24 years to a matter of months. Regardless of duration, each has seen the individuals of the collective left richer in perspective and creative understanding.
Migration, freedom to travel and cross-border unity is central to I would die for anything’s story, and should be recognised as the root of the flora that has bloomed as this exhibition. With it, our freedom brings the ability to infuse our creative output with critical introspection, compassion and cultural storytelling. We dedicate this show to those forced to live without their autonomy.
