BUTTERBUTTER PROJEKT - Alles in Butter

“Butter” from 'Buttebutter project - alles in Butter’ : “Alles in Butter” is a common phrase in German language. It means 'everything is okay.' Although it has many stories of its origin, the phrase was most likely originated from a common medieval practice that people used butter to protect fragile products such as glasses or dishes when transporting these goods. Likewise, our project aims to transport fragile hearts of many who experienced discrimination into one place. During the transportation process, we use butter as our medium. In the end, we freely archive voices of Anti-Asian racism by collecting works of artists (All of us are artists) who are living in Germany. The eligible artists will be asked to use butter either directly or indirectly to express their voices against racial discrimination in the post-corona age. Butter is an important symbol of our movement.

Butterbutter Projekt is finally doing an online virtual exhibition. Therefore, the size is variable, and the materials are used by renting internet space. Accurate information on the work of 30 artists is displayed on each individual page.

Butterbutter projekt is organized of 5 Korean women. We started the project while living in Berlin and studying art, as Anti Asian Racism caused by corona increased. The leader of the project is Lijung, and she worked on the project by sharing roles with the rest of the team member. The project finally ends with publication in November 2020. This project is supported by BUMS (Korean individual art investor), Interflugs (University of Arts Berlin, Student Association), Förderverein Kunst im Kontext e.V.
