“Excitement is not part of my feeling repertoire”

Saturday, 27th February 2021, 3 [removed]. (CET)

In “Excitement is not part of my feeling repertoire” Rhona Mühlebach invites you to a walk through a forest or park close to your current location. You will be taken on a journey through the past, present and future, following the artist’s stream of consciousness and different protagonists throughout the audio piece.
The audio work is set in the woods and a cave within the woods, ideal stages for this speculative fiction.
    
»Ich bleibe auf meinem Hochsitz.
    Wir sind am Aussterben. Wir sollten uns mit dem Wildschwein zusammentun, um zu überleben. Das meine ich wortwörtlich: halb Mensch, halb Wildschwein. Oder drei Viertel Wildschwein und ein Viertel Mensch. Oder auch 98% Prozent Wildschwein und 2% Mensch. […]
    Ratten, Bakterien oder Pilze sind ja momentan auch sehr gut mit dem Überleben aber um uns mit diesen Spezies zu vereinen, sind wir nicht genug fortgeschritten, technisch meine ich.
    But it’s possible with the boar?
    Ja, kein Problem. Ich denke, wir müssen uns wie die Neandertaler damals verhalten. Die haben sich ja auch mit uns zusammengetan, damit sie überleben konnten. Wir haben sie vor dem Aussterben gerettet. Zumindest ihre Essenz konnte überleben.
    Do you think 2% of a being contains its essence?
    „Die Neandertaler als Vorbild des alternativen Überlebens.”, so nenne ich das.
    We can learn so much from prehistory.«

The Salon will take place via a Telegram-Chat-Group. You will go for a walk in a forest or park nearby starting at 3 [removed] on Saturday 27. February 2021. You’ll need to take your phone and headphones with you on your walk. Via the Telegram-Chat-Group you will receive different audio pieces for about one hour. We invite you to listen to them wherever you are outside in a park or the woods. If you like you are welcome to share a picture of your location in the group or exchange ideas respectively. The artist will be present and happy to chat with you. After the event you will receive a limited edition postcard by the artist via airmail.
The Telegram-Chat-Group will be deleted after the event. The Salon is in English and German.

ABA Air Salon – 16. February 2021 – TEXTILE by Joris Perdieus
The one-hour radio show is conceived as a collage of electronic sound, found footage and field recordings. It’s sonic range spreads from city-sounds over spoken word through ambient textures and Musique Concrète to glitchy beats. The entire sonic landscape has been created by Joris Perdieus, sometimes under his sound-design moniker TEXTILE. The piece consists almost entirely of electronically synthesized sound, combined with field recordings made in Berlin during the first weeks of the residency.

Rhona Muehlebach (CH/UK)

Residency Sep 2020 – Feb 2021

[removed]

My work develops out of everyday relationships with, and attractions to humans, animals, objects or places that I consider companions. The will to understand this attraction – emotionally and not rationally – and the relation between the companions and myself leads to the work.
My practice deals with organic as well as inorganic materials and their process to address the multiple forms narrative can assume. I am interested in the role ecology plays in narrative construction, and the capacity of landscape as a living archive. I am drawn to the phenomena of representation and iteration. A constant point of reference in my work is the role played by video in mediating histories, narratives and spaces.
The narratives I create are fuelled by historical anecdotes and by scientific research, mainly in biology and geography. The writing weaves together different threads and transfigures its source material. It excites me how closely interwoven terms like science fiction, reality, fiction, facts and speculative fiction are. The area of friction where these terms meet, is the place I enjoy being with my work.

Anna Dasović (NL)

Residency Sep 2020 – Jan 2021
[removed]

 

Anna Dasović’s artistic practice is focused on the rhetorical structures that make genocidal violence visible, and those deployed to obscure the politically inconvenient aspects of such conflicts. What are representations of such extreme violence intended to communicate despite their original intentions? What ideological narratives do such representations participate in on a structural level? The production and use of (visual) documents are examined in their quest for truth finding or the social and/or political perceptions they seek to form, while simultaneously exposing their legislative and archival inability to cope with trauma caused by violence. Here, the archive serves both as a physical place for these documents and a metaphor of collective humiliation and remorse.

Alexei Kuzmich (BLR)

Residency: 1 Now– 31 Dec, 2020

 

On polling day in the Belarusian presidential elections on 9 August 2020, the performance artist Alexei Kuzmich undressed himself at his local polling station in Minsk, sticking his polling card — which he’d emblazoned with a phallus — onto his bare chest. He tied a blindfold over his eyes. For a few moments, he spread his arms wide, as if crucified, shocking electoral observers. It was part one of his performance, “I Believe or the Philistine World of Political Animals”. “For me, this performance was about the belief in democracy, our ignorance of the circumstances in which we elect leaders, and the demagoguery used by politicians,” Kuzmich told The Calvert Journal. “I made a parallel between politics, democracy, and the archaic principle of choosing the domineering male in a tribe — hence the sketch of a phallus.” Security forces chatted to him in the courtyard outside the polling station, but quickly let him go.

The Womxn Waves I-II-III 

Oct 8, 2020
Schwedenstraße 16, 13357 Berlin, Germany

All the womxn’s bodies that crossed the rivers and canals of the city of Berlin are connected with each other. They were killed there, died, or only passed through these liquid spaces and together they grew into an original memory that connects distant pasts and potential futures. In this new narration a population has emerged from this violence and loss: the Womxn Waves.
