  • Glad to contribute the artwork to the new Eskapist double release on @figure_music!!! #artwork #figuremusic #techno #technoberlin #technomusic #reality #fake #moretocome
  • For the show Worlds within World I invited Andrew Pekler, Kiwi Stefanie Menrath and Reiner Maria Matysik to developed works which occupy a space between fiction and reality. These works serve as an entry point into a parallel reality, surveying and questioning whilst simultaneously presenting its constituent parameters. The show is part of the exhibition series "Ausstellungen für ein spekulatives Publikum" and will be on display till the 11th of May. #andrewpekler #phantomislands #reinermariamatysik #creatures #wesen #beings #ausstellungenfüreinspekulativespublikum #worldswithinword #galerieweisserelefant #speculativerealism #speculativefiction #installation #artcurators #artinberlin
  • Together with an interdisciplinary board consisting of curators, media and cultural scientists I developed the exhibition series “Exhibitions for a Speculative Audience”. The single shows will be hosted till the end of the year by galerie weisser elefant. Based on the works of intellectual figures from the philosophical wave of speculative realism, which places an open view of reality at the forefront of its contemplation rather than merely adopting an anthropocentric worldview, the board of trustees developed questions from its various perspectives on alternative realities, ways of being and approaches to processes, matters and existences. The series aims to illustrate the collective dialogue of interdisciplinary strategies in artistic research, the investigation of artistic processes, and curation. The terrain of the Speculative is conceived as an artistic field of research whereby, on the one hand, the interdependence of the construction of reality and thought can be investigated and, on the other, questions on the relationships between aesthetics, art and politics can be developed and addressed in a prototypical way. For my curated show "Worlds within World", opening Saturday 06.04.2019 7pm, I invited Andrew Pekler, Stefanie Kiwi Menrath and Reiner Maria Matysik to develop works which occupy a space between fiction and reality. These works serve as an entry point into a parallel reality, surveying and questioning whilst simultaneously presenting its constituent parameters. #andrewpekler #stefaniekiwimenrath #phantomislands #reinermariamatysik #exhibitionsforaspeculativeaudience #worldswithinword #galerieweisserelefant #speculativerealism #speculativefiction #carstennicolai #artcurators #berlin #berlinart #artinberlin #exhibitionopening
