2322: A Curatorial Practice in Motion

Founded in Berlin in 2022 by Tim Vormbäumen and Hannah Weidner, 2322 is an independent curatorial practice exploring how exhibitions can exist beyond conventional galleries and institutions. Working in temporary and unconventional venues, 2322 treats each location as an active part of the exhibition—shaping the works, the audience’s experience, and the meaning of the project.pai32

The practice has developed through a series of projects including Remote 1, No Show, Showcase, and Dreaming (of You). Remote 1 transformed an office building into an exhibition space, questioning how art can be encountered outside established cultural structures. No Show explored absence and interruption, challenging the expectation that an exhibition must always be visible, accessible, and complete. Showcase examined the systems of display and the ways architecture frames, protects, and assigns value to artworks.

With Dreaming (of You), 2322 continued its interest in temporary, shifting environments. The exhibition created a space between reality, memory, and imagination, reflecting the collective’s understanding of exhibitions as evolving situations rather than fixed presentations. The project was connected to Caspar Frowein’s changing sculptural installation of the same name.pai32

Alongside their curatorial work, Vormbäumen and Weidner have worked with artist Julian Charrière, an experience that informs their engagement with artistic research, material processes, and complex exhibition production. Their practice is also shaped by questions surrounding institutional structures, cultural visibility, and the relationship between art, architecture, and society.

2322 is not a gallery in the traditional sense, but a mobile curatorial framework. Through remote art shows in places not originally intended for art, the collective creates temporary encounters that challenge where exhibitions can happen and how they can function. Each project becomes a negotiation between artwork, site, audience, and context—open, provisional, and continuously in motion.
