Mirrors expand our sense of reality and allow us to observe our own bodies. While we can be seen by everyone directly, the only possible way of viewing ourselves is through mirrors, photographs, films or portraits. The exhibition combines artistic works with scientific experiments and objects that deal with the way we perceive our own bodies in space.

With works by, among others, Vito Acconci, William Anastasi, Christian Andersson, John Baldessari, Attila Csörgõ, Marta Dell’Angelo, Livia Di Giovanna, Annika Eriksson, Thomas Florschuetz, Adib Fricke, Hreinn Friðfinnsson, Dan Graham, Sabina Grasso,Carla Guagliardi, Paul Le Grand, Dalibor Martinis, Jorge Macchi, Bjørn Melhus, Richard Rigg, Otavio Schipper/Sergio Krakowski.

JUNGE AKADEMIE: AGORA ARTES

In April and May, the JUNGE AKADEMIE brings together 25 international artists from all areas in a series of diverse dialogues. The Programme Night marks the start of AGORA ARTES, the presentation of works by last year’s Akademie Fellows

Developed for the Project Space of the Ernst Schering Foundation, the installation SMOKING MIRROR is the first German solo exhibition of the artist Otavio Schipper in cooperation with the composer Sergio Krakowski
The Rio based artist Otavio Schipper has developed a new work for die raum that responds to the claustrophobic dimensions of the exhibition space. In line with the surrealistic aesthetic of Schipper's oeuvre and his tendency toward the mechanical traces of early modernization, the installation references concepts of time and the subconscious.

The Wizard’s Chamber is an abstraction which finds an imaginary language between art and science. The exhibition refers to Dr Nikola Tesla’s essay 'The Problem of Increasing Human Energy: With Special Reference to the Harnessing of the Sun’s Energy'. Tesla was one of the greatest inventors in the history of electrical engineering, also known as The Wizard of the West.

With: Alessandro Brighetti, Wim Delvoye, Braco Dimitrijevic, Oswaldo Macia, Geo Homsy/ Chico MacMurtrie/ Bill Washabaugh, Arnaldo Morales, Trevor Paglen, Katie Paterson, Otavio Schipper, Samson Young.


MOT International Projects will present the first solo exhibition of Otavio Schipper, working in collaboration with musician Sergio Krakowski, in the UK. Schipper's installation 'Mechanical Unconscious' performs a dialogue between old-fashioned telegraph machines, synthetic voices and telephone sounds. Recorded with the assistance of software for the visually impaired, the voices read scientific articles, academic theses, and codes in abstract vocabularies to explore the limits of artificial communication.
