Aslan Goisum – Our memories are quite similar but pickled alive in a poison which accompanies objects too as a part of this emptiness.

Aslan Goisum (b. 1991 in Grozny, Chechnya) employs various artistic media, mainly the moving image, sculptural installation and paper-based techniques. Recent exhibitions include: A War in the Distance, steirischer herbst (Graz, AT, 2022); The Invented History, KINDL (Berlin, DE, 2020); Blood and Soul: Dark Arts for Dark Times, Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius, LT, 2019); Beautiful  World, Where Are You?, 10th Liverpool Biennial (Liverpool, UK, 2018); How To Live Together, Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna, AT, 2017) and People of No Consequence, Museum of Contemporary Art (Antwerp, BE, 2016).

Goisum’s new project at P/////AKT marks the 4^th part of the exhibition series Turning to Dust and Bones.

Boo 2 is an artist-run project space which started in January 2022 in a vacant store at the Boven’t Y shopping centre. Currently spaceless, it is looking for a new home. Each exhibition of the programme is created by proposing an artist to invite peers and organise a group show themselves. The aim is to give space for public presentations organised collaboratively and independently by the artists. Boo 2 restricts its role to facilitating a space and offering a communication platform. In its time at the Boven’t Y, the space was activated every uneven weekend by a show of three days after a period of two weeks where the artist worked in the space.
The presentations at P/////AKT will follow this energetic rhythm that is at the core of Boo [removed];Read more here.

A stain inside a paper, a whisper

Inspired by Felicity Callard’s “The Intimate Geographies of Panic Disorder”, which analyzes events that took place at Hillside Hospital/New York during 1959-62 and would become the origin story of panic disorder as a new medical category.
Thinking together (the disregard) of both, the specific architectural conditions and the role of care work in the tale of the birth of panic disorder A stain inside a paper, a whisper explores processes of (dis)appearance, withdrawal and traces of (in)visibilities the artist encountered in the archives and during his research period in New York in spring 2022.

The research was made possible with the financial support of Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Stichting Gerbrandy and BMKOES Austria.

A stain inside a paper, a whisper is the latest addition to the P/////AKT-collection of limited edition works by alumni artists.
