Finissage of the exhibition NAILED IT !

Sacred nails, explosive nail bombs, everyday construction nails ̶ nails come in all shapes and sizes. The exhibition "NAILED IT !", organized by five students of the School of Architecture, aims to expand people's horizons about such an inconspicuous object as the nail. Running through October 20 in the AB Gallery at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences, the exhibition's six stations - "History," "Architecture," "Currency," "Language," "Religion" and "Weapons" - draw surprising connections to various topics that don't normally come to people's minds when they think of nails. Comics, installations and drawings discuss the cultural social potential of nails. "At first glance, nails are rather inconspicuous; however, we want to show what else is in nails and why this topic fascinates us so much. If we use signs differently, break open their meanings, we change reality: this is precisely the promise of deconstruction, with the help of which we have opened up the theme of "nails" in terms of content," the curators explain the exhibition concept.

In the course of the elective module "Sense of Exhibition" in the winter semester 20/21, five students of the School of Architecture Bremen dealt in depth with thematic exhibitions and recognized in them an exciting medium for an interactive discourse. In the course of the summer semester 21, the five students then developed an exhibition on a topic of their own choice and realized it for the premises of the AB-Galerie at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences.

They cordially invite you to visit the exhibition "Nailed it!" and to the finissage.
