Ingo Gerken and invited artists Matti Isan Blind, Madeleine Boschan, Rainer Ganahl,Antonia Low, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Reto Pulfer, Gregor Schneider. Interpreting the contemporary legacy of the Merzbarn and Kurt Schwitters in the UK, Castlefield Gallery has invited Gerken to respond to Schwitters’ Merz Magazine (issue 8/9) of 1924 called Nasci. The theme of the magazine, Nasci, meaning ‘being born’ or ‘becoming’, was co-edited with Russian Constructivist artist El Lissitzky.
