press: Camie Klein receives Wohnung Lauxtermann – Residency (D)

We’re delighted to announce the second Wohnung Lauxtermann Residency featuring Camie Klein. The residency is awarded selectively and at irregular intervals. Since its inception in 2023, it has been realized twice and is activated when artistic practice, spatial context, and discursive relevance meaningfully intersect. The residency awarded to Camie Klein (February–March 2026) takes place in the context of the exhibition »Bodies in Residue«.

Klein’s practice engages with processes of inscription, care, and transformation, working primarily with soap as a sculptural and performative material. Alongside soap, the artist’s own blood appears as a recurring element within the work, introducing questions of vulnerability, authorship, and bodily presence. During the residency, Klein will further develop the work FUGUE: a door placed horizontally on the floor. Coated in soap and extended by metal elements, its surface operates as a permeable threshold into which collected blood will be tattooed. Participation in the work is voluntary; visitors are offered the possibility to donate blood as part of the artistic process.
