The third edition of Made in Germany, which is collectively curated on a five-year-cycle by the three institutions, focuses on the conditions of producing art in Germany. The group exhibition pursues the questions of how geographical, political, and institutional structures as well as new technologies are creating important conditions for the production of art in the course of the digital turn. In an art landscape that, by international standards, continues to have a unique concentration of institutions (art academies and colleges, art associations, and museums), the German scene is a major international site for the production of and discourse on contemporary art.

The exhibition focuses on artistic positions that address production processes and examines the sites at which it is produced and presented. Besides processual approaches, by way of examples it investigates forms of production that direct the spotlight on network concepts. This becomes palpable based on collective approaches and time-based presentations in which the body and the social attain altered visibilities.

As participating institutions, the Schauspiel Hannover, the Festival Theaterformen, and the KunstFestSpiele are contributing the first time, supplementing the question of production and site with additional projects and thus highlighting the changing production conditions of theater and performance not only in spaces of visual art.

Clara Jo: 24h Dahlem, 2016 (film still) NOWs: Clara Jo: 24 h Dahlem presented at the Architecture Film Festival London at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) & Bargehouse OXO Tower Wharf 24h Dahlem, 2016 (17 min) examines the motivations behind, and consequences of, the planned relocation (2019) of the ethnographic collections from the Dahlem State Museums—the Ethnological Museum and Museum for Asian Art—on the periphery of Berlin to the future site of the Humboldt Forum in BerlinMitte. The film moves through the different layers of the museum, revealing that which is otherwise unseen. The soundtrack is created by Robert Lippok. 24 h Dahlem will be shown at the ICA during a Ticketed Screening and Shortlisted Films on June 11. Additionally Clara Jo’s experimental film Tilt will be presented at the Bargehouse for the Festival Selection on June 7 & 8. Tilt, 2016 (13 min) creates a contemporary parallel of an Enlightenment World, employing current museological digital imaging technologies as devices to penetrate the surface of scientific and artistic objects. The film uncovers how new 3D imaging techniques utilized by museum conservation departments bypass the need to directly incise into material culture, instead providing a surrogate and abstracted experience of objects for public consumption. The film draws from the Royal Academy of Arts Collections and Archives, folding in material from other London institutions such as the Burlington Courtyard Learned Societies and the Imaging and Analysis Centre at the Natural History Museum.
