Sebastian Jung | Exhibition opening at Ostschule 5: ‘Chemnitzchen’ and ‘Ost Jung’
The exhibition brings together insights from a process spanning several years, which is entering its fifth phase this year in Chemnitz. Artworks by Sebastian Jung are juxtaposed at the LOKOMOV cultural centre with statements from people connected to Chemnitz’s civil society, who have shared their views on their relationship with the city, their experiences during the period of reunification, their identity as East Germans and the Capital of Culture year in a series of workshops. Taking as their starting point the characters ‘Ost Jung’ – an elusive East German archetype who defies all clichés – and ‘Chemnitzchen’, the alternative mascot of the Capital of Culture, people are invited to discuss their feelings, tensions and aspirations.
