“Our trail is paved by a thin, reflective membrane — we fall into a time-trap as we cross it. We enter ourselves as we set foot "out there". It happens to us but we do it to ourselves. We freeze the future and melt the past, then in reverse. The pick-up is jumping back and forth on the nonlinear timeline of our memory.”

“When destruction multiplies all around me, I instinctively want to create a safe space around myself. To protect everything that is so dear.” - Alisa Gorshenina

“The landscape we see in the joint work of Adam Brož and Šimon Výravský, or in Ivan Theimer‘s painting, is primarily established by a system of relationships within a sprawling post-industrial organism, parts of which protrude from the ground, dive into underground tunnels, and tower into the sky on electric pylons. The mechanism of landscape design here is subject to closed laws that we are unable to decipher. At the same time, the works are separated by half a century, during which many ideas have been realized and manifested in their consequences. We fall into the mechanisms of dreamlike spheres that intertwine with dystopia, moving through them like a web of layers and structures that we discover with our eyes. Dark kerosene cleans metals, degreases and removes the dirt left behind by our footsteps.”

“…patterns are figuratively reminiscent of camouflage, but the camouflage system here is of a different kind — social, political and personal”.

In her dream, her stomach turns into a ceramic flower stem. The growing plant’s pieces are falling apart. Lying in her bed, she tries to stitch the fragments of her belly back together, like she does in the studio while building her giant flowers.

In his project “This is my rock band – Moonlight” Misha Goodwin will present an installation inspired by animatronics. It consists of is a duo of mechanical dolls inspired by the rock band “The Rock-afire Explosion”, which was performing around the 1980s and whose stage image also consisted of mechanical animal figures. In the modern culture, animatronics often become characters in Internet folklore – they are used to create creepypasta and Internet horror.

Water sets rhythm, adhesion, resistance, and surface tension. Skin becomes membrane.

Exhaustion as an expression of resistance, depression as a silent but fundamental indictment of a sick system: in Dream Baby Dream, Rebekka Benzenberg draws attention to questions that only on a surface level appear personal and intimate. With a pointed compilation of sculptures, sound, and painting, the artist circles around the motif of the bed – a tempting retreat and hated sickbed at the same time – which she locates politically and illuminates critically. In doing so, the image of women in late capitalism as well as the overwhelming flood of therapy offers are being scrutinized.
