ENTER THE HEAT
The globe continued to bake in 2018, and still more warming is predicted. Accompanying this heat is the vigorous flux of the trembling particles. How can we persist as cool, while everything around is shaking, shivering and jiggling? Is it this movement that keeps us together, or is it just extending the distance? It may be that the transformation we bring on a daily basis is a catastrophe we needed to recover.
The “Wacky Races” through the abandoned landscapes of this apocalypse-now contemporaneity, have started long ago.
Spontaneously established bounds revealed an organic combination of threads that lead us to this project. By provoking the “supercommunity” brainstorming that is about to occur during the show, (and apparently is happening all-around), we try to underline the potential of hypothetically dead artistic objects and inspire the collective thinking processes.
The seemingly stable exposition, divided into 3 days, reveals the impression towards the “roasted” unknown future.
In this context the story of Gurzelen appears.
The Gurzelen Stadium in Biel acts as a parallel territory where alternative ideas might grow and develop into new relationships with the surrounding environment. The community of people, working within the Stadium concept, have transformed the hypothetically “dead zone” into a vivid cultural space. The Gurzelen Residency invites international cultural activists to contribute with their concepts and work for the future vision of the space itself. From October 2018 to March 2019 the Stadium hosts Inside Job (Ula Lucińska and Michał Knychaus) as a guest artists. They work in collaboration with and under the curatorial auspices of Maya Hottarek.
Beside the Sattelkammer project, the Inside Job will present their residency works during two other events. One presentation already confirmed is in Espace Libre, Biel (30.01.2019-25.02.2019) as a part of the show called “Double Feature”.
The final presentation of their stay will happen in/or around Biel in March (TBA).
Maya Hottarek (1990) is a visual artist living and working in Biel,
and is Co-founder with Roman Luterbacher of the Gurzelen-Residency program.
Inside Job: Ula Lucinska (1992), Michał Knychaus (1987) are visual artists from Poznan, Poland, and current residents in the Gurzelen Stadium.
Enter the Heat curated by Yvonne Lanz, Sattelkammer
The sound played during the show is by Jonathan Frossard and Laurent Güdel.
Frossards work is a feedback to the objects in the space aswell as the topics we want to share and discuss.
Güdels work ,Hiss’ is part of an ethnography which investigates the coming of new technology called electronic monitored hives (E.M.H.), and its possibility to enhance this age-old interspecies relationship. (also known as the internet of bees) .
"Hiss", offers a sonic immersion into a refuge where, in alliance with technology, two different Umwelts collide and merge, allowing an ontological choreography to happen. In short, the presentation will explore this interspecies relationship from the angle of sound using "Hiss" as an example.
