until 28.04. | #2397ARTatBerlin | EIGENHEIM Berlin presents from 16th March 2019 the group exhibition “From the Lab to the Studio – New Technologies and Materials in Art” with works by 14 artists. In 2019, EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin is the official showcase of the Bauhaus University Weimar for the 100th anniversary of the BAUHAUS. Various exhibitions on current themes will take place at both locations. This exhibition in Berlin marks the start of this exhibition series. 

“From the Lab to the Studio – New Technologies and Materials in Art” – this is the title of the first exhibition of the Berlin gallery EIGENHEIM in cooperation with the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and other institutions to open on 16 March 2019 at 7 pm. As “Schaufenster Bauhaus 100” the gallery presents works by students, teachers and alumni from all four faculties of the Bauhaus University Weimar in its rooms in Berlin-Charlottenburg.

The series presents the artistic and scientific work of the Bauhaus’s founding site in Weimar today and shows which contemporary issues currently play a role in the disciplines and demonstrates the scientific and artistic examination of them.

“From the Lab to the Studio – New Technologies and Materials in Art” marks the start of a series of exhibitions that will serve as a temporary showcase to make Weimar University accessible to a wider public. The gallery EIGENHEIM, which with its in-house artists primarily represents alumni of the Bauhaus University Weimar, with its two locations in Berlin and Weimar creates ideal conditions for the shop window and in this context becomes a laboratory, network node, communication and action space.

The four 2019 exhibitions are dedicated to current themes such as digitality in everyday life, economics and social issues, sustainability and environmental awareness, as well as new technologies and materials in art. In the search for answers to questions of the 21st century, science, technology, art and design are combined. The basis for the first exhibition was a cross-university Open Call for artists and scientists on new technologies and materials in art. Based on technological leaps in development and the resulting social changes, new developments in art are taken up and works from the fields of fine art, product design, media art and media design, human-computer interaction and the design of media environments are brought together. Experimental set-ups and experiments merge into a laboratory and thinking space, combining craftsmanship, technology and new materials.

The exhibition series is funded by the Bauhaus University Weimar “Bauhaus100”, the Thuringian State Chancellery, the Thuringian Cultural Foundation and the City of Weimar. Cooperation partners include the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems, the F. A. Finger Institute for Building Materials Science and the company Poly Care from Gehlberg.

»From the Lab to the Studio – New Technologies and Materials in Art«

In recent decades, extensive technological leaps have been made, be it in information technology, materials science or medicine. With these new technologies and materials many hopes are associated to find solutions for the challenges of the future. These exponential developments bring about profound social changes. Exactly these situations of radical change are the guidelines for these and the following exhibitions of EIGENHEIM Weimar/Berlin as a showcase for the Bauhaus University Weimar on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus.

Previously undreamt-of possibilities exist in these social leaps in development, also for new developments in art. A creative and playful way of dealing with art, as it is the basis of art, broadens the view of the innovations of our time and can thus help to develop new approaches. Virtual realities, 3D prints, robotics, mobile computing, image recognition software or telephone applications have been new fields of activity in art for many years.

The exhibition From the Lab to the Studio – New Technologies and Materials in Art brings together the work of students, alumni and staff in the fields of Free Art, Product Design, Media Art and Media Design, the Chair of Human-Computer Interaction and the Chair of Media Environment Design. Experimental set-ups and experiments merge into a laboratory and thinking space and unite craftsmanship, technology and new materials into one unit.

The goal of depicting the various disciplines and subjects of the Bauhaus University Weimar is deepened in the form of exhibition architecture. Unconventionally, we collaborate with various institutes of the university and developed presentation areas made of polymer concrete from the F. A. Finger-Institut für Baustoffkunde & the company PolyCare from Gehlberg. We integrate the work of graduates who have worked together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems or who are currently working on the Shenzen New Media Art Festival. Two workshops will be held to accompany the exhibition, in which a new printing technology can be used to produce pneumatic objects or small machines can be built using sensor and computer technology.

Jörg Brinkmann
Jörg Brinkmann is a performance, video and installation artist. In view of his experimental practice, unusual exhibition situations arise at the interface of society and technology. Brinkmann searches for new forms of expression by deliberately abusing everyday web-based media such as Google, YouTube, Twitter and the Deep Web. His work adapts and recontextualizes the content and aesthetics of web-based data archives such as blogs, photo collections, and Twitter feeds. Digital technologies, web presence and, above all, the current development of virtual reality glasses are topics to which he devotes himself. His works have been presented in art institutions such as the Louvre, Paris, the Watermill Center, New York, at the European Media Arts Festival, Osnabrück and at the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg. Since May 2017, he has worked as an artistic assistant at the Bauhaus University Weimar and heads the Critical Virtual Reality Laboratory.

Timm Burkhardt
Timm Burkhardt teaches designers and artists the basics of electronics at the Bauhaus University Weimar. In his artistic activity he builds participatory installations that live from the voluntary or unconscious participation of the visitors. He studied Visual Communication and Fine Arts, received awards from the LAG Soziokultur, the International Festival of Cinema & Technology and the Art Directors Club. In 2017 he founded the artist collective Gonzomechanics together with Kathryn Gohmert. www.gonzomechanics.com

Christian Claus
Christian Claus’ works oscillate between objects, installations and collage-like painting. They often refer to the staged images of shop windows, Ikea showrooms and digital advertising media. The supposedly pleasing aesthetics conveyed by these fictitious images become a play bow in his work. His works are thus often reminiscent of interiors of apartments, offices, shops, but also of architectural elements and can be understood as simulacra of these. Objects reminiscent of houseplants or palm trees often open up a form of idyll, similar to the world of advertising, and are thus promises of paradisiacal places. But patterns and surfaces with design properties also play an essential role in his work, and so he likes to make use of the means to direct perception.

Christian Doeller
Christian Doeller, born 1987 in Darmstadt, experiments at the interface of art, philosophy, science and technology. His work deals with human self-perception in relation to scientific and technological developments. Using interactive installations and machines, Doeller visualizes ubiquitous processes that normally lie hidden. In this context, he examines the significance of so-called “errors” in digital technologies. In other projects, Doeller develops narrative environments, performances and public events that playfully confront our empirical abilities with abstract scientific concepts and research methods. He studied physics (TU Darmstadt), photography and media (FH Bielefeld), sculpture and object (Chung-Ang-University Seoul) and media art (Bauhaus-University Weimar). His works have been shown at various locations in Germany and abroad, including the Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg, the Neue Galerie Kassel and the NKNU Art Space in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Since 2013 he has also realized various workshops, events and performances. Doeller lives and works in Weimar.

Leoni Fischer
Leoni Fischer was born in Freiburg in 1996. Since 2016 she has been studying product design at the Bauhaus University Weimar. After a stay abroad in Milan, she lives in Berlin and gains new experience at Studio Olafur Eliasson. In her work, she deals with the catalytic properties of objects, to grasp the supposedly invisible within themselves and to make it possible for the viewer to experience it in a new way. She believes in the inseparability of object and context and is currently investigating the interplay between the symbiotic relationships of the object and the space in which we move.
