Art Laboratory Berlin möchte Sie/ Euch über kommende Veranstaltungen informieren:


Am Sonntag, den 22. Mai 2016 hält die Künstlerin Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger einen Vortrag:
'There be Dragons: human impact on the environmentally sensitive Galapagos and Lord Howe Islands' (in englischer Sprache) bei SPEKTRUM | art science community in der Bürknerstraße 12, 12047 Berlin.
Einlass: ab 19:30 Uhr || Talk: 20:30 Uhr
Eintritt: 3 - 6 Euro (auf Spendenbasis)
 



"In the Age of the Anthropocene, this talk will explore how humans impact on our world both by their presence and indirectly by their lifestyle. This is a science-art investigation of tourism and its effects on closed eco systems, specifically the Galapagos and Lord Howe Islands (both World Heritage Listed). Through my art investigations I work to bring awareness to the public in order to create a more relevant understanding of the issues surrounding human impact on the environment and its long term effects.

Through the interaction between the worlds of art and science I explore evolution in the Anthropocene, a harbinger for the future of our human interaction on this earth. Increasing tourism instigated by economic change and the media’s current focus on the apparently pristine, remote and untouched landscapes, creates expectations of the natural environment. With the Islands of Galapagos and Lord Howe acting as microcosms for our biosphere, this dialogue will explore the uncertainties that surround population growth, extinction and the dissemination of toxic materials into the environment.

My research and resulting artworks explore, through photography, video, microscopy, sound and installation, connections on how utopia becomes a dystopia, we are trapped in our desires for a unique experience; how modernisation and the need for the tourist dollar become can become weapons for a bleak future for the Galapagos and Lord Howe Islands."
-Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger

Diese Veranstaltung wird  in Kooperation mit Art Laboratory Berlin organisiert.

Die Ausstellung On Animals. Cognition, Senses, Play untersucht zwei Arten von Tieren, die eine beeindruckende kognitive Nähe zum Menschen aufweisen: Primaten, unsere nächstliegenden Verwandte, besitzen komplexe kognitive Systeme, die denen der Menschen stark ähneln, sich aber auch in gewissen Bereichen radikal unterscheiden. Hunde, die dem Menschen nächstliegenden Begleiter der gesamten Tierwelt, haben sich neben dem Menschen über 30.000 Jahre lang weiterentwickelt. Allen gemeinsam ist der von Donna Haraway formulierte Begriff des "Miteinanderhandelns": Durch die Überwindung konventioneller Dichotomien von Natur/Kultur, Mensch/Tier oder Subjekt/Objekt geht es vielmehr um ein gemeinsames Agieren. In ihren Arbeiten zu Tieren (Primaten, Hunde und Wölfe) setzen die beiden Künstlerinnen Maja Smrekar und Rachel Mayeri auf bestimmte Strategien des Narrativen und das Phänomen der Immersion, um sich dadurch der Perspektive eines nichtmenschlichen Gegenübers anzunähern. Sie stellen den Instinkt und die Sinne des Nichtmenschlichen ins Zentrum ihrer künstlerischen Forschung. Mittels Performance, Film und Kunst-Naturwissenschafts-Kollaborationen versuchen beide, die Kognitionsfähigkeit des Nichtmenschlichen zu übersetzten.

Ausstellungslaufzeit: 2. Juli - 4. September 2016 || Di-So 11 - 18 Uhr, Do 11 - 21 Uhr

Die Ausstellung NatureCultures untersucht die verflochtene Struktur menschlicher und nichtmenschlicher Akteure im 21. Jahrhundert. Der Ausstellungstitel bezieht sich auf den gleichnamigen Begriff der amerikanischen Wissenschaftlerin Donna Haraway, die für eine Überwindung der unproduktiven Dichotomie von Kultur und Natur appelliert. Die Auswirkungen menschlicher Technologie dringen in alle Bereiche der Umwelt ein und verändern das Gleichgewicht und damit auch den Aufbau dessen, was wir einmal „Natur“ nannten. Angesichts der großen ökologischen Katastrophen überrascht wiederum die Widerstandsfähigkeit unzähliger Lebensformen auf unserem Planeten. Das Ausstellungsprojekt stellt drei Künstler vor, die den Bereich zwischen Naturwissenschaft und künstlerischer Forschung sowie die Schnittstellen von Kultur und Natur erkunden.

On 27 May our next exhibition in the Nonhuman Subjectivities series opens:

Nonhuman Subjectivities
On Animals. Cognition, Senses, Play

Opening: 27 May, 2016, 8PM
Artists talk: 29 May, 2016, 3PM
Exhibition runs: 28 May– 17 July, 2016, Fri-Sun 2-6PM and by appointment. (24 June open until 9PM)

The exhibition On Animals. Cognition, Senses, Play investigates two groups of animals that are closest to us: primates, our nearest 'relatives', and dogs, with whom we have made a symbiotic contract. The works share Donna Haraway's concept of "cooperative actions": overcoming conventional dichotomies of nature/culture, human/animal or subject/object is all about joint action. The artists, Maja Smrekar and Rachel Mayeri, make use of certain narrative strategies and the phenomenon of immersion, to approach the perspective of a nonhuman counterpart. The works of both artists place the instinct and the senses of the nonhuman at the centre of artistic research, while aiming to translate the nonhuman cognitive ability by means of the performance, film and art/science collaboration.

Save the date: On 1 July the exhibition NatureCultures, curated by Regine Rapp & Christian de Lutz, opens at the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung in Auguststr. 75, 10117 Berlin:

NatureCultures


Brandon Ballengée  Katya Gardea Browne  Pinar Yoldas


Brandon Ballengée, DFA 136: Procrustes, 2013; Pinar Yoldas, Regnum alba, 2014; Katya Gardea Browne, Xochimilco, 2014

Opening: Friday, 1 July 2016, 7 pm
Artists Talk 3 July, 2016
Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung, Auguststr. 75, 10117 Berlin
Exhibition runs 2 July - 4 September, 2016, Tue-Sun 11 - 6 pm; Thu 11 - 9 pm.

The exhibition NatureCultures explores the interwoven fabric of both the human and nonhuman in the 21st century. The exhibition title refers to a term coined by the American scholar Donna Haraway, which seeks to overcome the unproductive dichotomy of nature and culture. The side effects of human technology intrude into every environment, altering the balance, and even the make up of what we once called nature. While ecological disaster repeatedly threatens, there is a surprising resiliency in the myriad of life forms on this planet. The exhibition presents three artists who explore a realm between science and artistic research as well as between natural and cultural forms of inquiry.
