Pablo Chierghin & Christine Baumann: Anstelle der Stille
22.4.–3.6.2026
Pablo Chiereghin, Christine Baumann
What would you have liked to hear in your life? What words were missing for you? And what might you like to hear now? What remained unsaid is now spoken. “In Place of Silence” collects words and phrases that have failed to meet any expectation, fill any void, or satisfy any longing.
The magic of speaking and being heard: words, finally brought into the world, can change situations, decisions, and paths. From the most intimate private matters to political statements, words float outside a fixed context and fill the spaces of reference for those who have never heard them.
In a series of video statements, the unsaid is made audible.
As part of the WUK’s annual theme “ZU HÖREN.”

The KUNSTZELLE, a former phone booth in the courtyard, is the smallest exhibition space at the WUK. For over 15 years, it has served as a venue for artistic installations and interventions. Since 2006, around 100 artists have taken this minimalist structure as their playground and brought their project ideas to life. As a result, the unique space has been continually reimagined. The KUNSTZELLE is curated by Christine Baumann, who initiated the project, and Pablo Chiereghin.
