NO SOLO is the catalog for the solo exhibition of the same name at Kunstverein D21 in Leipzig from summer 2020. In it, works from various groups of works are gathered together for the first time, and also for the first time, small, poetic drawings and image commentaries form links between the works. The catalog also contains the text of a German-French border experience by Sarah Frenking as well as (in the digital version) a text about solidary colleagues in a VEB of the GDR by Maria Bühner, which deals with transidentity.

Exhibition/Concept/Publication: Irène Mélix, Theresa Schnell (team2)
The illustrated book was published to accompany the exhibition of the same name. With text, artistic works and events the question was raised how an emancipatory milieu is formed. Using the example of queer voguing balls in New York in the 80s or the bookstores of the Rive Gauche in Paris in the 1920s, it appears what power such milieus can unfold.
