In the case of hotel rooms the question of hospitality is moving into the spotlight, which is at the same time also the theme of the exhibition. Additionally, the approach of hotel room exhibitions puts emphasis on the process through its ephemeral form. We are interested in the idea of 'exhibition as assertion', as well as the question of ubiquitous mobility. At the same time a hotel room is a very impersonal location, which enables us
to organize exhibitions as interventions with a relatively small budget also at distant locations.
In the exhibition of "WCW-nine" we would like to present an extract of German context and to confront it at the same time with an equal number of Brazilian artists. Among other things, the resulting group exhibition is an attempt to learn more about the differences and mutualities of both spheres - as a snapshot of contemporary art production.
We invited the participating artists to look into the situational conditions at the spot. One aspect is the precarious and transient form of presentation in a hotel room and the theme of hospitality (or what it means to be guest / host) that it implies.

Jacques Derrida wrote that a situation of hospitality comes into being when the guest acts to some extend as the host for the one who welcomed him.
On the other hand the thought somewhat suggests itself for the invited artists to take into consideration the specific social, historical and cultural conditions of Rio in the course of their work.
As a result of a conflict inside the former "WCW-Gallery" we were forced to move to the "underground" and since then we call ourselves "WCW-nine". WCW-nine became homeless and started moving around aimlessly and now presents itself here and there (for example in hotel rooms).

We conceived the WCW-nine exhibition in a critical distance from the WCW-Gallery's past exhibitions. They are a result of our critical reflection on the fact that the past exhibition program was male-dominated, very European, white and exclusive because of the prerequisites of the white-cube presentation format.
Nevertheless, the exhibition series should also draw from the network of the former WCW-Gallery and exhibit its positive elements.
This way we also hope to stimulate exchange between Brazilian and German artists and to animate discussion.

Oliver Bulas
(b. 1981 in Hamburg, GER), lives and works in Berlin.
Oliver Bulas invites visitors to dive into "constructed situations" (scenes), which he creates. For that matter he is interested in how social space is constituted. How can one produce this space in times, in which capitalism and its division of labour result in endless division of space, simultaneously making everything interchangeable? His exhibitions are propositions, in certain circumstances also deceptions. He is not conceiving them as rigid constructions, instead they are emerging in the presence of the audience.
