Cake&Cash currently experiments with practices of collective art making and explores auditive formats as a collective artistic medium, such as lecture performance or audio collage. C&C’s debut in lecture performance „Draft: der Traum vom Staubsaugerroboter“ took place in Kunsthaus Hamburg in 2023. In 2024, C&C hosted a symposium focusing on performative and text-based art practices in Kunstverein Gastgarten, Hamburg.
Another focus lies on different ways and understandings of collectivity. Therefore, the collective takes action both as a group with various collective facets, just as individual collective members are represented with artistic and/or curatorial positions.
In summer 2023, C&C acted as curator, set designer and artist for the 3-part exhibition series Cake&Cash and Friends at MOM Art Space, Hamburg, that included a show of only audio formats produced by 4 collectives.
C&C occupied Hamburg art school’s gallery in 2020 and 2021, where it refused to use the space in its proper purpose and instead installed its office in it. Lectures, workshops and reading circles were held and exhibitions took place there.
In May of 2021, Cake&Cash founded Grind&Shine Incorporation at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof. For this, C&C moved its headquarters into the Kunstverein’s bar and ironically designed it according to its interpretation of a mindful and motivating workspace. Until August 2022 Cake&Cash curated a 5 part exhibition series in the Kunstverein’s showcases as well as a variety of discursive formats in the bar, such as lectures, artist talks and performances.
Cake&Cash was the organizer of the Pop&Squat online festival for feminist networking at art colleges and regulary takes part in symposia, panel talks and podcasts.
C&C was awarded the Art Grant by Zeit Stiftung in 2023.
