Kunstquartier Bethanien

Presented at Kunstquartier Bethanien in Berlin, Invisibilities is a group exhibition curated by Ludwig Seyfarth and developed through a collaboration between the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier and the Universität der Künste Berlin. An enlarged miniature painting, collected stones, and altered books form a constellation of works in which objects shift between support, relic, body, and display.

The works were also presented in the class of Ursula Neugebauer at Universität der Künste, Berlin, during Rundgang.

What do we do when we do nothing—if that is even still possible—and what freedoms or possibilities open up in the moment of pausing? Under the title REST, a two-day event with performative contributions will take place at the Grosstankstelle Brandshof (Hamburg Rothenburgsort), where the processes of urban transformation become visible in specific ways. Here we propose a transformed understanding of time in order to resist the impetus of acceleration and efficiency. REST is dedicated to the moment of interruption, seeking to explore societal spaces for action—beyond productivity.

Performative works by Jenni Bohn, Camila Cañeque, Sarah Drath, Nicholas Grafia, Vir Andres Hera, Matthias Schubert, Mikołaj Sobczak, Hyemin Yang.

Educational intervention by Lyn van Gent.

Re-Membrances is a performance based on Vir Andres Hera's personal archives: student notebooks, personal notes, and fragments of texts written in the early 2010s during his artistic training in Montpellier. These writings, marked by exile, the discovery of new languages, and the construction of a diasporic subjectivity, are collectively activated with a group of students. The texts become living material through voice, choir, spoken word, sound, and projection. The performance transforms the intimate into a shared experience and questions what the institution transmits, but also what it leaves out of the picture, proposing to reinvest it as a space to be collectively reconfigured.
