a multimedial art exhibition in PRAGUE + BERLIN

Under the title Zeitverschiebung (Time-Shift), the first part of a multimedial art exchange exhibition between Prague and Berlin will take place. At the initiative of the Prague artists for a dialogue with their western neighbours and especially with their fellow artists from Berlin, we can now announce the first exhibitions that will be held in the Gallery of the Prague Academy of Architecture and the Gallery of the Artists Association NSPU. The exhibitions, curated by both partners, include photography, drawing, painting, video and an interactive installation on the topic and the specific cultural context. The concept of a direct dialogue, i.e. the dialogic confrontation of the artworks, promises to be an exciting exhibition. Not in the least because Prague and Berlin are linked by a long cultural history, which is increasingly reflected today as a mutual interest between the younger artists.

Participating artists: Sandra Becker, Catherine Bourdon, Karel Dvořák, Marianne Gielen, Simone Kornfeld, Maria Korporal, Ivan Králík, Milan Křenek, Sebastian Kusenberg, Ina Lindemann, Alena Petříčkova, Zdenka Reinerová, Sabine Schneider, Petr Tošovský, Marian Zajíček, Václava Zouplnová.

This year’s association exhibition in the Verein Berliner Künstler: UPDATE 18 | TOTALITÄR
21.04. – 20.05. 2018

Opening
Friday, 20.04.2018, 19h

The exhibition focuses on conceptual works on this very complex and up-to-date topic.
Internationally, democratic conditions are experiencing a shock. Not only in Europe, but on almost every continent, our democratic values ​​are in danger.
In addition, we live in a digital transformation that fundamentally changes our way of life through automation processes and digital communication. These changes are felt to be similarly groundbreaking as the epoch of the invention of printing, the Gutenberg Age.
The exhibition TOTALITÄR critically deals with these changes. These include topics such as surveillance opportunities, social networks, digital warfare, binary stereotypes, the spread of violent fantasies, hate speech, exclusion and anonymity. Various intermediate and border areas are aesthetically reflected in the 59 positions of the international artists of the association who live or work in Berlin in a radical and very different way.
