Solo exhibition by Julia Miorin as part of the annual theme "Children, listen up everyone!" at the Kunsthalle Osnabrück

I came by to say hi means "I came by to say hello". Julia Miorin is a sculptor and makes installations. [An installation is a work of art in space. She brings objects together in a space. But Julia Miorin removes them from everyday life and places them in a new context. She does all this in a humorous way. But through her art, she also criticises social rules and standards.

At the invitation of the Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Julia Miorin has transformed one of the Kunsthalle's exhibition spaces. For the first time, there is a separate room just for mediation. In other words, for workshops, encounters, school classes, talks and information about art. The space was artistically planned together with the Kunsthalle Osnabrück team and a test group. The people in the test group were between 18 and 70 years old. Together with them, the artist asked herself: How can this mediation space be a space for everyone? A place of shared learning. A place that appeals to all the senses. A space for ageless creativity. It can be used flexibly and in many different ways. Even for breaks.

You can recognise Julia Miorin's way of working in this space. It stands for the interruption of habits. The abandonment of repetitive uses. And for the empowerment of visitors. Their needs take centre stage - especially in relation to the location of the museum. They are the centre of her spatial proposal

The individual elements in the space are reminiscent of public places: A kiosk, a sunbathing lawn, a park bench or a billboard. In other words, shared spaces. Spaces for communication and exchange. These spaces can change. And their use can always be renegotiated. This is also how Julia Miorin understands the art education space at the Kunsthalle Osnabrück. During events, for example, tables and chairs are moved around. The visitors change the space. Always in keeping with its use.


Julia Miorin (DE) lives and works in Leipzig. Miorin is a sculptor and art educator and taught on the art education programme at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle from 2020-2023.

In 2023, Julia Miorin was invited by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation to create the artistic design for the Meisterhaus Muche in Dessau. Her first monograph was published by DISTANZ Verlag in January 2024.
