At the same time, a satellite exhibition at Kunstraum FUGE presents an exhibition of works by Thomas Möller and Chryssa Tsampaz.

Curated by Jan Gottschalk and Judith Kuhlmann

Artistic works at the exhibition

David Bowen's installation, Wilderness is based on recordings of a ship’s movement during a Pacific crossing. This data is transferred to luminous plastic bags floating in space, to which their incessant rising and falling comes close to the drifting of the Ocean waves.

Anahita Bradberry creates sculptural and spatial situations using plasma light. In her work, Spine she highlights the accidental nature of plasma light and draws a poetic connection to the conductive properties of the human body.

Katharina Kamph will lead a lantern parade at the opening of the exhibition, drawing on the symbolism of a widespread tradition that originated in China. On two preceding days, children and adults can participate in a lantern-making workshop at the Pop Up Store in the Schönhauser Allee Arcaden and then join the lantern parade.

In Nachtluftschlösser, Dora Lionstone explores thoughts, imagined realities, and perceptions of hidden dimensions. Using analogue photography, collage, and installation, she reconstructs an imaginative nightmare of a house, where behind the walls a world of "nothingness" is hidden.

In Anne Steinhagen's installation work, Green System a luminous carpet of fluorescent beads oscillate between neon colours when it is illuminated and greenish light as soon as the lights go out. She inserts the nature-derived phenomenon of fluorescent light in an artificially created setting.

In Entre Ciel et Pierre, Daria Lou Nakov explores and investigates the big city in photograms and collages, which she dissolves on the computer and assembles into new compositions. She captures these newly created spaces and living figures in light boxes.

Spree & Mowitz will perform their first conceptual studies of the joint Chaosmology project at the opening of the exhibition, which will unfold as an idiosyncratic musical cosmos via a progression of electronic sound. This work incorporates extensive sonic experiments that explore perceptual realms that lie between form, rhythm, tone, and reverberations. As well as offering an intensive engagement with the Fibonacci series as a universal world formula, and the composition, Kontakte by Karlheinz Stockhausen.
