Reuchlinstraße 4b, 70178 Stuttgart
<p>Since the late 1980s, Maria Eichhorn has achieved renown for works that critically analyze institutional structures and consequentially act on situational-specific conditions of social, legal, and economic authority. Eichhorn’s exhibition project, <em>Reuchlinstraße 4b, 70178 Stuttgart</em> (2023—) is constituted by processes and actions that respond to the ongoing history of property relations specific to the building at Reuchlinstraße 4b, which the City of Stuttgart has owned since 1936 and which the Künstlerhaus Stuttgart has rented since its founding in 1978. Through research of State archives and legal casework, this site-specific exhibition project revisits how the building’s acquisition was achieved by means of coercive foreclosure. In doing so, Eichhorn’s work challenges the City’s ownership rights over the property while laying bare crucial questions about continued use of the property by the Künstlerhaus Stuttgart.</p>
