NOWs: The Seekers

16 - 25 June 2017 / Nows

at tête, Berlin

An exhibition of artists who through meditative means, altered mind states or ritual acts have created objects, encounters or sensations for visitors to the show. Each artist works in their own manner to reach subconscious mind states, specific feelings and new ways for creative exploration. The outcome of this activity is an unexpected mix of work that crosses subjects including feminism, Buddhist philosophy, architecture, olfactory senses, yoga, botany and running.
Participating artists: Joey Asal, Ally Bisshop, Jennifer Danos, Adam Geremia, Deborah Ligorio, Jai McKenzie, Shannon May Powell, Elsa Salonen, and Maria Torres.

It is open to all disciplines in the arts and other areas of knowledge We are looking forward to welcome participants interested in space and perception. DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSION : April 20th, 2017 There are grants related to the SEA forum, connected as well with the master class. All the info at www.ionionartscenter.gr and www.triangularproject.net For questions please address Sophie at info@ionionartscenter.gr and or us at triangular.project@gmail.com – TRIANGULAR PROJECT is a collective of visual artists working with the theme of space. The artistic practises of Florine Leoni (Switzerland), Macarena Ruiz-Tagle (Chile) and Sandra Volny (Canada) draw a TRIANGLE – a three-sided shape based on three kinds of perception: perception of psychological/mental space, perception of optical/perceptual space, and aural & spatial awareness. Working in situ, their interests and actions intertwine with the local community’s culture, history and geography. Experimentation is their main tool in approaching the environment. They consider the process as important as the final work of art. Collective work, side by side with invited participants, unfolds into a shared creation of knowledge.

NOWs: 24h Dahlem by Clara Jo in collaboration with Robert Lippok

06 - 11 June 2017 / Nows ⟶

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.
