From February 21 to 26, the exhibition Social Findings presents recent works by students of the course “Social Art” within the Electronic Media department at HfG Offenbach, shown at 2og:dondorf (Schirn Interim, Gabriel-Riesser-Weg 3, Frankfurt-Bockenheim). The exhibition functions as a survey of artistic engagements with social spaces, neighborhoods, public life, and community—situated between documentary observation, artistic intervention, and performative articulation.

The exhibited positions span installation, photography, text, sculpture, performance, and digital practices. Through the interplay of different works and modes of observation, a network of relations emerges that maps the field of the social. Artistic research thus becomes a revelatory process, making social structures visible and opening them up for discussion—without claiming completeness.

Social Findings is part of the teaching practice of the course “Social Art”, led by Prof. Alexander Oppermann and lecturer Luca Ganz, and directly connects to the seminar’s inquiries into the (digital) transformation of society as both a condition and a subject of artistic practice. The opening takes place on February 20 at 6 pm, followed by a performance day on February 21. The exhibition is open daily from 3 to 6 pm (closed on Mondays).
